急用!翻译文章 History and Historians 2
The position is hardly satisfying. And when their teachers inform告知 them that the controversy论争, 辩论over historical interpretations解释, 阐明 is what lends excitement to the study of history, they can only respond回答,有反应 that they feel more confusion混乱, 混淆 than excitement. They cannot help but feel that two diametrically作为直径地, 直接地 opposed反对的, 敌对的 points of view about an event cannot both be right; yet they lack the ability to decide between them.
Obviously, there is no easy solution to this problem. Historians disagree because each historian views the past from a particular perspective观点, 看法. Once students grasp掌握, 领会 this, they have taken the first step toward being able to evaluate评价, 估计 the work of various historians. But before they can take this first step, students must consider a problem they have more or less taken for granted同意, 准予, 承认. They must ask themselves what history really is.
The word history has several meanings. In its broadest sense, it denotes指示, 表示 the whole of the human past. More restricted受限制的, 有限的 is the notion概念 that history is the recorded past, that part of human life which has left some sort of record such as folk tales, artifacts史前古器物, or written documents. Finally, history may be defined定义, 详细说明 as that which historians write about the past.
Of course, the three meanings are related. Historians base their accounts理由 on the remains of the past, left by people. Obviously they cannot know everything for the simple reason that not every event, every happening, was fully and completely recorded. And the further back one goes in time, the fewer are the records that remain. In this sense, then, the historian can only approximate history in the first meaning above.
But this does not say enough. If historians cannot know everything because not everything was recorded, neither do they use all the records that are available可用到的, 可利用的 to them. Rather, historians select from the total those records they deem认为, 相信 most significant有意义的, 重大的, 重要的. Moreover, they also re-create重新创作 parts of the past for which they have no recorded evidence. Like detectives, they piece接合, 修补, 凑合 together evidence to fill in the gaps in the available records.
