But that does not exempt one from the duty to obtain clarity about how things and persons " really " were ( to use one of ranke 's terms ) .

不过这并不能撤销一个人澄清事实的责任，事情到底是什么样，这个人真正是什么。

Positivism history which was formed in germany in the nineteenth century and represented by l. ranke was influenced by natural science then and there and inherited prior historians ` excellenct traditions of paying attention to criticize historical data in the process of composition .

在十九世纪形成于德国的以兰克为代表的实证主义史学是受当时自然科学的影响并且继承了以往历史学家在历史写作中注重史料批判的优良传统。

Moreover , if the people of the first babylonian dynasty ( about 21st century bc ) called themselves " amorites , " as ranke seems to have shown , then obviously a common origin with them was recognized by the babylonians at that early date .

此外，如果正如德国历史学家兰克所指出那样，巴比伦第一王朝时期（大约在公元前21世纪）的人自称为“亚摩利人”，那么他们在那个较早的时期，明显是有一个被公认为巴比伦人的共同起源。
