英语翻译
这是托福TPO16 Trade and the Ancient Middle East 第三段的一句话：
In the multiplicity of small-scale local egalitarian or quasi-egalitarian organizations for fellowship,worship,and production that flourished in this laissez-faire environment,individuals could interact with one another within a community of harmony and ideological equality,following their own popularly elected leaders and governing themselves by shared consensus while minimizing distinctions of wealth and power.
我看了网上的译文,但还是觉得很疑惑,特别是第一句那个 multiplicity搞不清楚对应哪个,还有不知道那个for怎么翻译,水平有限啊啊>
