问题描述

Cleisthenes' principal contribution to the creation of democracy at Athens was to complete the long process of weakening family and clan structures, especially among the aristocrats, and to set in their place locality-based corporations called demes, which became the point of entry for all civic and most religious life in Athens. “became the point of entry ”这个不太理解是什么意思？

老师答疑

刘老师：

which became the point of entry for all civic and most religious life in Athens.

the point of entry 的意思是：“入口点；切入点；入口端点；必由之路”。

意为：这成为雅典所有公民和主要宗教生活的必经之路。
