历史叙述和历史解释的关系是什么?

答案

参考答案:

首先,历史叙事与历史解释共同构成了历史研究,缺一不可。就历史研究整体而言,只偏重某一方都无法实现历史研究的目的。

其次,历史叙事与历史解释不是对立的,而是互补的。

最后,无论是历史叙事还是历史解释,其目标都应该是共同的,那就是力求揭示历史的真相。历史学之所以产生与存在,是因为人类通过回顾过去而认识现在和预测未来,并由此进一步关注自身存在的意义。就这一点而言,就要寻求真相。

总之,历史叙事要上升到历史解释的层面,而历史解释则应建在正确的历史事实和历史叙述的基础之上。

My grandfather came from Hungary and was the only one in his family who settled down in the United States. The rest of his family remained in Europe. When World War I broke out, he seemed to have become another man, downhearted. Such obvious change was not born out of concern for his welfare, but out of fear: if his only son, my uncle, had to go to war, it would be cousin fighting against cousin.

One day in 1918, my Uncle Milton received his draft notice. My grandparents were very upset. But my mother, at the age of 10, felt on top of the world about her soldier brother going off to war. Realizing how he was regarded by his little sister and all of her friends, my uncle bought them all service pins, which meant that they had a loved one in the service. All the little girls were delighted.

The moment came when my uncle and the other soldiers, without any training but all in uniforms, boarded the train. The band played and the crowd cheered. Although no one noticed. I’m sure my grandmother had a tear in her eye for the only son. The train slowly pulled out, but not about a thousand yards when it suddenly paused. Everyone stared in wonder as the train slowly returned to the station. There was a dead silence before the doors opened and the men started to step out. Someone shouted, “The war is over!” For a moment, nobody moved, but then the people heard someone bark orders at the soldiers. The men lined up in two lines, walked down the steps, and with the band playing, marched down the street, as returning heroes, to be welcomed home. My mother said it was a great day, but she was just a little disappointed that it didn’t last a tiny bit longer.
