English term or phrase: each man has the place for which he was designed by nature
Aristotle is no egalitarian; he believes that slavery is natural, that some men are born to be slaves. He anticipates, in a sense, what later became the organic theory of the state --- the notion that men are born to a place, to a status, and that the good state is one in which each man has the place for which he was designed by nature.

求 designed by nature 的正解。
