【正确答案】所谓方法论是指一般的历史研究中的特有概念,还是指历史探究中各个具体领域使用的研究手段,人们对此意见不一。
【答案解析】[精解] There is no agreement whether methodology refers to the concepts peculiar to historical work in general or to the research techniques appropriate to the various branches of historical inquiry.
句子分析:
一、句子可以拆分为三段:There is no agreement/whether methodology refers to the concepts peculiar to historical work in general/or to the research techniques appropriate to the various branches of historical inquiry.
二、句子的结构:
1)主干结构是存在句There is no agreement 因为主语部分太长,整个结构应该采用顺序倒译方法。
2)whether methodology refers to...or to...是主语agreement 的同位语。
3)the concepts 后面的形容词短语peculiar to historical work in general 是它的定语;the re- search techniques 后面的形容词短语appropriate to the various branches of historical inquiry 也是作定语。
三、词的处理:
agreement 统一的意见,一致看法;
whether...refers to...or to...是指……还是指……;
the concepts/peculiar to/historical work/in general(按后置定语的顺序倒译)一般的历史研究中的特有概念;
the research techniques 研究手段;
appropriate to 适用于,合适于;
the various branches 各个领域;
historical inquiry 历史探究。
