traditional historian

It applies to traditional historians who view history as only external and internal criticism of sources and to social science historian who equate their activity with specific techniques.

这适用于传统的历史学家和社会科学历史学家。前者把历史看成内部和外部的资源斗争，后者则把他们的行为当做具体的技术。

That historian might also observe that the curiosity was only a temporary phenomenon and mankind reverted back to the traditional state of affairs-arbitrary control and abuse.

历史学家也许还会观察到这出奇仅是一个短暂的现象，人类很快又返回到传统的恣意控制与滥用状态。
