Issue48The 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.历史研究过于关注个人。历史上最有意义的事件和潮流能够成为可能不是因为几个少数的名人而是一些身份早就被淡忘的人群。 少数和多数,精英和大众观点:个人对历史作出的贡献更大,对现代人更有影响,所以我们应更关注历史中的个人.1 人群对历史的贡献挺大的.没有大众mass的贡献,就没有历史上许多伟大的建筑比如说金字塔pyramid和长城.moreover,大众推翻了oppressive的王朝regime,选举出民主的政府democratic government,再比如旧的体制适应不了新的体制时,大众对改革起到了积极(active)的作用.2承认个人没有周围人的支持,是成功不了的.但是个人是主要因素,周围人是第二位的.如果把焦点集中在周围人身上,就会模糊真正的对历史贡献的主体.3 在科学界,如Newton, Edison, Einstein, Curie,这些个人对历史贡献贼大.在社会政界,虽然群众的贡献也大,没有他们,一些社会变革无法进行.但他们都是在杰出的领导者下被鼓舞的.是领导者的眼界和智慧.4 因为个人在历史中占据更重要的位置,所以历史的研究中把更多的关注投向个人.也不足为奇.关键词:Key individuals, impetus, profoundat times, 正文:
Retrospect (可以这么用吗?是个名词吧)the past, the key individuals and groups of people tend to effect the development of history more or less(more or less什么意思,差不多?). However, the individuals play a more important role on the most significant events and trends in history than groups of people. That's the reason why the study of history draws many(much) emphasis on individuals chiefly(可以把chiefly放在emphasis后面). Admittedly, the contribution of groups of people on the history process could not be ignored in some aspects. When uncountable nameless masses come together and unite their strength and wisdom to do a common thing, there would be miracles(would感觉像是虚拟语气。). Actually, insofar as many wonders here and there in the history attribute to the works of groups of people. Profound architectural foundations, such as the Pyramids in Egypt and the Great Wall in China, are the results of myriad masses' hard working. People in a community fought and overthrow(overthrew) the oppressive regime, then elected a democratic government many times in the past(这句意思没有很好表达出来,跟前面和后面衔接不是很好,可以加个another example~~引出这句). And, without the great masses, there would not be many successful revolutions for reform(ing) the old-fashion system to suitable innovations. However, a close scrutiny of the history informed us although groups of people are take part in historical developments, the key individuals are the rival impetus in the history. The above-motioned the famous Pyramids in Egypt and the Great Wall are built in the order of autocratic emperors in that era(以上文为例很好,这种写法好). And there must be several key leaders to inspire the common people to join in the movement of overthrowing an old dynastic or reforming a system. In other words, groups of people are only ordered or incited by key individuals. Regardless of key individuals, groups of people would not complete such great objects in the history. Thus, the study of the key individuals who are crucial to the affairs in the past is the most significant thing(就不用加thing这个词了) to realize and understand the history. Undue attention on groups of people tends to obscure(赞!)the leading body in the history on the study of the past. Aside from the architecture realm and the political realm, the scientific field is full of individuals made great achievements which promote the process in the history. Scientific prodigies, such as Newton, Edison, Einstein, curie and the like, are all depend on their own intelligence, endeavor and other special ability to obtain the success. These individuals make great contributions to societies and provide inspiration to successors, consequently, they deserve more place in the human history. Through understanding of these great individuals we can better understand the process of history, and promote ourselves on the experience of the past. In sum, despite groups of people contribute to historical developments, they merely are secondary in understanding the history. It is individuals who are the most significant object effect the history. We should place more emphasis on individuals to study the history.
先写群众,再写个人,我写的文章思路正好相反,内容大体都差不多。
这样应该怎么去改正哪,我发现光靠自己想很难写出文章,只能参考别人的提纲。应该怎么去寻找突破呢,要好好想想,讨论讨论。
