今日长难句:
Methodology is a term that remains inherently ambiguous in the historical profession. 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.
参考译文:
在历史学界,方法论这个词从来都是模棱两可的:即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适用的研究手段,人们对此意见不一。
句子解析:
① 首句为主系表结构,即:Methodology /is /a term; that引导定语从句,修饰a term.
② 二句主干为there is no agreement;whether… or … 引导同位语从句,解释no agreement 的具体内容。同位语从句同位语从句主干为methodology refers to the concepts … or to the research techniques ….
③ peculiar to historical work in general 为后置定语,修饰 the concepts; appropriate to the various branches of historical inquiry 为后置定语,修饰 the research techniques.

下期预告:
Historians, especially those so blinded by their research interests that they have been accused of “tunnel method,” frequently fall victim to the “technical fallacy.”
