issue48 创造历史之伟人Vs.凡人 精干文章+超详细讨论

noopiaUID：170278

The study of history places too much emphasis on individuals. The most significant events and trends in history were made possible not by the famous few, but by groups of people whose identities have long been forgotten.
我没照着写重大事件而是推广到整个历史来写的，但是例子举的是重大事件。
TS:历史是人民大众创造的，但我们只可能去研究少数名人。
B1 历史是人民创造的。（人民，唯有人民，才是历史的主人，二战的例子）
B2 不可否认伟人的加速事件发生的作用（贞德的例子）
B3 但是我们只可能研究名人。（因为平凡人太多）
其实不想写结尾，因为B3结束感已经很强了。
打字又差又慢！靠word啦。超时一些吧。大家拍我语言哦！因为实在是太久没写了。

Though the historical study is focused on the celebrities（吹毛求疵的说，我觉得这个词不好，用giant更好）, controversy on who realize the events and trends is still going on. For my part, we should bear in mind that the determinant of history is the forgotten masses rather than the dominant figures, but it is feasible to study only the celebrities rather than the masses.

History actually resided（是译为属于吗？） in the hands of the forgotten masses. Take delve into the World War II, what comes to our mind first is the celebrities as Roosevelt Barton and the fellow generals who commanded the battle. However, just as a Chinese saying goes, the fame of the general is based on the casualty of the soldiers. What truly defeated the Japanese and Nazi Germany is the hundreds of aircraft carriers and tens of thousands of tanks manufactured by the workers and the death toll of the soldiers that mounted an even greater number. Without their fighting and working（感觉替换成blood和sweat效果更好）, the generals alone could by no means win the war. So, the war was indeed won by the toil of the workers who survived and the sacrifice of soldiers who died.

On the other hand, the function of the celebrity which should not be trivialized availed to the acceleration of the events. Looking into the One Hundred Years War, we observe that although the majority of French were only to willing to drive away the British intruders and regain their homeland, but they were hesitant and the wrath was not released until the 17 year old girl Joan of Arc stood out and mustered the people to fight for their own country. Though the French is destined to claim their own land, were it not Joan of Arc, the victory would be postponed markedly.（总结一句吧！例子不错，不过我觉得如果继续用B1的例子从另一方面说，领导人的作用，也是不错的选择。）

But, the sad（不合适吧） truth is that the historical research is focused merely on several celebrity rather than the masses. It is somewhat reasonable but not justifiable. We already know that the determinant of history is the masses, but due to the great number of the ordinary people, it is impossible to identify, record and examine what every one of them thought and did, while the celebrities’ deeds are easy to observe. So, practically, historians always study only the contribution of the famous people which may to some extent representative the trend and masses.（这段可以用suppose that 来个假设，更说明问题。）

We shall all remember that the determinant of history is the forgotten masses and their unknown contribution but we can literally observe only the celebrities readily.
（短小精悍，语言上挺不错的。虽然字数少，不过我觉得在考场上能说明意思就行了。不过有时间深入阐述观点也是必要的，个人觉得这篇文章有点单薄。）

你8楼的第二段感觉不是很好，我怎么觉得和这题目没多大关系？那段只提到了遗忘却没有提到多数人与少数人呀。
