Postscript
文摘
A．The PolisAfter the upheavals that ended the Mycenaean period and the slow recovery of prosperityduring the Dark Age，the Greeks developed their basic political and institutional unit，thepolis or city-state．The details of this development are largely lost，but by the end of theDark Age the polis was common throughout Greece．Rarely did there．occur the combination of extensive territory and political unity that allowed one polis to rise above others．Onlythree city-states were able to muster the resources of an entire region behind them：Sparta，which dominated the regions of Laconia and Messenia；Athens，which united the large peninsula of Attica under its rule；and Thebes，which in several periods marshaled theresources of the fertile region of Boeotia．Otherwise，the political pattern of ancient Greece was one of many small city-states，few of which were much songer or richer than their neighbors．
Physically the term polls designated a city or town and its surrounding countryside．Thetypical polis consisted of people living in a compact group of houses within the city．The city’s water supply came from public fountains and cisterns．By the fifth century B．C．the city was generally surrounded by a wall．The city contained a point，usually elevated，called the“acropolis．”and a public square or marketplace（agora）．On the acropolis，which in the early period was a place of refuge，stood the temples，altars，public monuments，and various dedications to the gods of the polis．The agora was originally the place where the warrior assembly met，but it became the political center of the polis．In the agora were porticoes，shops，and public buildings and courts．
The polis was far more than a political institution．Above all it was a community of citizens．and the affairs of the community were the concern of all citizens．The intimacy ofthe polis was an important factor，one hard for modern city dwellers to imagine．The philosopher Plato thought that five thousand citizens constituted the ideal population for a polis．Though utopian，Plato was not in this case being unrealistic．Although populationfigures for Greece are mostly guesswork，because most city-states were small enough not to need a census．the polis of Thebes in Boeotia is a useful illustration of how small a Greek state was．When Alexander the Great destroyed Thebes in 335 B．C．，he sold thirty thousand people into slavery．Some six thousand people had died in the fighting，and many others he spared．Thus the free population of Thebes had numbered between thirty and forty thousand at most，and Thebes was a large polis，a major power．
後記
本教材的編寫得益於我在美國的留學。在美國克利夫蘭大學留學期間，接觸到了許多世界歷史的原始資料，專業英語的水平也有了很大的提高。美國克利夫蘭大學歷史系曾贈送給我系一些歷史書籍，正是有了這些寶貴的專業書籍，才使教材的編寫比較順利。今天在教材完稿之際，要特別感謝我美國的老師和這些書籍的作者。
另外，我的同事范菊華老師，是獲得英語語言文學碩士和歷史學博士學位的雙料學者，我們倆的合作為本教材的順利編寫奠定了重要的基礎。
本教材各章編寫分工如下：
世界史部分：第1－9，11，13，21章，高芳英；第10，12，14－20章的簡單介紹和A部分及部分注釋和思考問答題，高芳英；第10，12，14－20章的B部分及部分注釋和翻譯練習題，范菊華；第22章，范菊華。
中國史部分：第l－6章，范菊華；第6－12章，高芳英。
前言和後記，高芳英。
序言
《史學專業英語》是江蘇省品牌專業－蘇州大學社會學院歷史學專業的精品教材項目。本教材為歷史學專業的專業英語課程編寫，適合高等院校歷史學專業的學生作為教材和其他專業的學生作為教學參考資料使用。
長期以來，我國高等院校歷史學專業的學生缺乏專業英語課程的教材，大多數院校的專業英語教材是根據授課教師的專業方向臨時編印的，難免在專業英語綜合知識結構方面有所欠缺。本教材通過世界歷史和中國歷史兩條主線，用英語編撰歷史，為學生提供了一本編年簡史類的專業英語教材。
本教材的主要特點是體系完整、內容廣泛、學術性強，能夠培養和訓練學生用英語在本專業內參與國際交流的能力。教材的編撰從古代美索不達米亞文明到2l世紀的經濟全球化，從中國古代的四大發明到新中國的建立，體現了古今中外歷史的完整體系；教材的內容涉及了政治、經濟、戰爭、條約、宗教、科學技術、文化思想等廣泛的領域；教材精選了部分原始文檔，節選了部分國外和國內著名歷史學家和政治家的英文原版論著和英譯名著，強化了史學的學術性和英語語言的學術性。
本教材分兩大部分：世界史22章，中國史12章。每章開始簡單介紹本章涵蓋內容，主體由兩部分組成：A、某段通史資料；B、文獻史料或論著節選。隨後有歷史和語言難點的注釋，最後是思考問答題和翻譯練習題。
本教材的編寫得到了蘇州大學社會學院領導的大力支持和鼓勵，在此表示真摯的感謝。
由於編者的水平有限，教材中的不妥之處敬請讀者批評指正。
另外，教材所選的資料，尤其是西方史學家和政治家的論著，其觀點請讀者正確對待。
