文明在古代怎么说英语

In ancient times, the term "civilization" would not have been expressed in English as the English language did not exist yet. The concept of civilization, however, has been present throughout human history. The term "civilization" comes from the Latin word "civis," which means "citizen," and the suffix "-ation," which denotes a process or a state. In general, the term refers to a complex society or a level of cultural and technological development.
