English translation:two subcommunities
Explanation:
إني آخذ على الكاتب اسـتخدام عبارة "شريحتين" في هذا السـياق، لأنّ العبارة أجدر بالاسـتخدام عند الإشارة إلى عينة سكانية، نسميها شريحة لأنها تشـبه العينة المأخوذة للتحليل في مختبر الأحياء، وتكون عادة على هيئة شريحة، أما في هذا السـياق، فالأولى اسـتخدام عبارة أخرى مثل فئتين أو ما شابه

هذا لا يهم. المهم أنّ الترجمة التي أقترحها هي ما أشرتُ إليه
