Preindustrial Europe E Roughly Large European Early Historians

en In the early 1950's, historians who studied preindustrial Europe (which we may define here as Europe in the pe- riod from roughly 1300 to 1800) began, for the first time in large numbers, to investigate more of the preindustrial European population than the 2 or 3 percent who comprised the political and social elite: the kings, generals, judges, nobles, bishops, and local magnates who had hitherto usually filled history books.

译文: /在20世纪50年代的早期,/[研究欧洲工业化以前的(我们在此把这个时间段模糊定位于公元1300年至1800年 )]历史学家们 开始 /第一次以大量的数据 / 调查那些 占工业化以前的欧洲人口2%到3%的包括政治和社会精英以外 的人口,[而那2%到3%精英们(是到目前为止都一直充斥着历史教科书的)(国王、将军、贵族、主教以及地方上的达官显贵们。)]

解释: 句中有两个插入语,一个是跟在preindustrial Europe之后的which we may define here as Europe in the period from roughly 1300 to 1800,这个插入语的直接作用是解释前面的preindustrail Europe的年代,而起到的客观作用则是把主句中的主语和谓语分割得很远;第二个插入语for the first time in large numbers ,是在began, to investigate中间,把一个好好的began to 斩为两段。

这句话另外一个难以理解的地方是more of the preindustrial European population than the 2 or 3 percent,表示的是在工业化以前的欧洲人口中超过了那2%到3%的人,亦即占97%到98%的人民群众。
