中英雙語話史記 第60期:三國人口

Population

人口

The population could be derived from the official record of Chen Shou’s Sanguo Zhi.

人口記載可能來源於陳壽的《三國志》中的官方記錄。

In terms of manpower, the Wei was by far the largest, retaining more than 660000 households and 4400000 people within its borders.

就人力而言，魏國是最多的，在其領地內大約有超過660000戶和4400000人。

Shu had a population of 940000, and Wu 2300000.

蜀國有940000人，吳國則有2300000人。

Thus, Wei had more than 58% of the population and around 40% of territory.

因此，魏國佔有總人口的58%以上並擁有大約40%的領地。

With these resources, it is estimated that it could raise an army of 440000 whilst Shu and Wu could manage 100 000 and 230 000.

依託這些資源，魏國據估計可以建立一個440000人的軍隊，而蜀國和吳國分別可以管理100000和230000人的軍隊。

The Wu-Shu alliance against the Wei proved itself to be a militarily stable configuration；

吳蜀聯軍共同抗擊魏國證明其是一個穩定的軍事結構；

the basic borders of the Three Kingdoms remained almost unchanging for more than forty years.

三個國家的基本國界線在長達四十多年的時間裏都沒有改變過。
