【正确答案】人们之所以关注历史研究的方法论,主要是因为史学界内部意见不一,其次是因为外界并不认为历史是一门学问。
【答案解析】[精解] Interest in historical methods has arisen less through external challenge to the validity of history as an intellectual discipline and more from internal quarrels among historians them- selves.
句子分析:
一、句子可以拆分为三段:Interest in historical methods has arisen/less through external challenge to the validity of history as an intellectual discipline/and more from internal quarrels among historians themselves.
二、句子的结构:
1)主干结构是一个简单句:Interest...has arisen less through...and more from...
2)并列状语less through...and more from 的翻译是关键,through 和from 意思完全相同,表示原因,直译为比较少的是因为……,更多的原因是……
3)challenge 后面的不定式短语to the validity of history as an intellectual discipline 是它的定语,直译为对历史作为一门学科的正确性提出异议,internal quarrels 后面的介 词短语among historians themselves 作quarrels 的定语。
三、词的处理:
Interest in historical methods 对历史方法的关注(兴趣);
arisen 来自于,产生于;challenge 质疑,挑战;
validity 真实性,正确性;as an intellectual discipline 作为一门学问(一个学科领域);
internal quarrels 内部意见不统一,内部分歧。
