質問: 和訳確認お願いします。(長文です) it is obvious that, in primitive communities, peasants, left to themselves, would not have parted with the slender surplus upon which the warriors and priests subsisted, but would have either produced less or consumed more. at first, sheer force compelled them to produce and part with the surplus. gradually, however, it was found possible to induce many of them to accept an ethic according to which it was their duty to work hard, although part of their work went to support others in idleness. by this means the amount of compulsion required was lessened, and the expenses of government were diminished. 「part of their work went on to support others in idleness」の部分です。 (1)goとtoのここでの使い方と用法は?(「費やされる」の意味ですか?toは「~するために」で副詞用法) (2)in idlenessの使い方は?(1.「怠惰な人」のように、名詞othersを修飾する形容詞用法、2.「なにもせずに養う」のように、動詞supportを修飾する副詞用法。
