第一、句子可以拆分為三段:
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.
第二、句子的結(jié)構(gòu)
1)主干結(jié)構(gòu)是一個簡單句:Interest has arisen less through ...and more from.。.
2)并列狀語less through ...and more from的翻譯是關(guān)鍵,through和from意思完全相同,表示原因,直譯為:比較少的是因?yàn)椤,更多的原因是…?/P>
3)challenge后面的不定式短語to the validity of history as an intellectual discipline是它的定語,直譯對歷史作為一門學(xué)科的正確性提出異議,internal quarrels后面的介詞短語among historians themselves作quarrels的定語。
第三、詞的處理:
Interest in historical methods 對歷史方法的關(guān)注(興趣)
arisen 來自于,產(chǎn)生于challenge質(zhì)疑,挑戰(zhàn)
validity 真實(shí)性,正確性as an intellectual discipline作為一門學(xué)問(一個學(xué)科領(lǐng)域)
internal quarrels 內(nèi)部意見不統(tǒng)一,內(nèi)部分歧
參考譯文:
人們之所以關(guān)注歷史研究的方法論,主要是因?yàn)槭穼W(xué)界內(nèi)部意見不一,其次是因?yàn)橥饨绮⒉徽J(rèn)為歷史是一門學(xué)問。
