Question

帮忙翻译，有加分，谢谢~~不要机器翻译

In particular it is only recently that students of Sung, following the lead of historians of the Ming and Ch'ing dynasties, have begun to investigate the elite in a specific setting - to do local history. The present study is one essay in that direction. The Sung elite, I would argue, cannot be properly understood unless it is considered in a local, as well as a national, frame.

尤其是只在最近，研究宋史的学生才随着明，清两代的权威历史学家的脚步，开始在特定的环境下研究宋史精华 - 做当地的历史地方志。本研究亦是遵循这个方向。我认为，如果不能由地方及全国两个框架体系下思考，就无法正确了解宋朝史的精华部分。

注：有些地方是意译，多加了几个词。因为英文部分写的有点怪。
