Hi, I’m Dan from BBC Learning English and today I’m going to tell you the difference between those two confusing words?history?and?story.

So, both words are used for a description of events. So that makes them the same, right? WRONG! They are not the same.

History?is the description or study of past events based on fact, often to understand their consequences. 'Christopher Columbus arrived in America in 1492.'?

A?story?is the description of a series of real or imagined events, often to entertain people. 'After arriving in America in 1492, Columbus and his crew were attacked by a giant man-eating T-Rex dinosaur!'?That didn’t happen! It’s just a?story.

So…?history?is the description of past events based on fact and?stories?are descriptions of real or imagined events, often to entertain.

Leave us a comment below about a piece of?history?or an imagined?story?from your culture! We’ll try and guess which is which!

丹 嗨，我是來自BBC Learning English的丹，今天我要告訴你這兩個令人困惑的單詞 history 和 story 的區(qū)別。

這兩個單詞都用于描述事件。這使它們相同，對嗎？ 錯！它們并不相同。

歷史是基于事實(shí)的過去事件的描述或研究，常常是為了理解它們的后果?！翱死锼雇懈ァじ鐐惒加?492年抵達(dá)美洲?！?/p>

故事是描述一系列真實(shí)或想象的事件，常常是為了娛樂人們。“在1492年抵達(dá)美洲后，哥倫布和他的船員被一只巨型食人恐龍攻擊了！”那不是真的！那只是一個故事。

所以...歷史是基于事實(shí)的過去事件的描述，而故事則是描述真實(shí)或想象的事件，常常是為了娛樂。

在下面留下一個來自你的文化的歷史或想象故事的評論！我們會猜猜哪個是哪個！
