But, in a new colony, a great uncultivated estate is likely to be much more speedily divided by alienation than by succession.

但是，在一个新的殖民地， 大量未开垦的土地很可能因疏远而不是继承而迅速分裂。

The law of primogeniture hindered them from being divided by succession; the introduction of entails prevented their being broke into small parcels by alienation.

长子继承法阻止他们被继承分割；引入 entails 防止它们被异化分解成小包裹。

This original engrossing of uncultivated lands, though a great, might have been but a transitory evil. They might soon have been divided again, and broke into small parcels, either by succession or by alienation.

最初对未开垦土地的吞并虽然是一件大事，但可能只是暂时的罪恶。他们可能很快就会再次分裂，并通过继承或疏远分裂成小块。

The course of human affairs, by marriage, by succession, and by alienation, necessarily deranged this original division, and frequently threw the lands which had been allotted for the maintenance of many different families, into the possession of a single person.

人类事务的进程，通过婚姻、继承和转让，必然会破坏这种最初的划分，并经常将分配给许多不同家庭的土地归入一个人所有。
