Argument to the best explanation
C.Behan McCullagh lays down seven conditions for a successful argument to the best explanation:[11]
The statement,together with other statements already held to be true,must imply yet other statements describing present,observable data.(We will henceforth call the first statement 'the hypothesis',and the statements describing observable data,'observation statements'.)
The hypothesis must be of greater explanatory scope than any other incompatible hypothesis about the same subject; that is,it must imply a greater variety of observation statements.
The hypothesis must be of greater explanatory power than any other incompatible hypothesis about the same subject; that is,it must make the observation statements it implies more probable than any other.
The hypothesis must be more plausible than any other incompatible hypothesis about the same subject; that is,it must be implied to some degree by a greater variety of accepted truths than any other,and be implied more strongly than any other; and its probable negation must be implied by fewer beliefs,and implied less strongly than any other.
The hypothesis must be less ad hoc than any other incompatible hypothesis about the same subject; that is,it must include fewer new suppositions about the past which are not already implied to some extent by existing beliefs.
It must be disconfirmed by fewer accepted beliefs than any other incompatible hypothesis about the same subject; that is,when conjoined with accepted truths it must imply fewer observation statements and other statements which are believed to be false.
It must exceed other incompatible hypotheses about the same subject by so much,in characteristics 2 to 6,that there is little chance of an incompatible hypothesis,after further investigation,soon exceeding it in these respects.
McCullagh sums up,"if the scope and strength of an explanation are very great,so that it explains a large number and variety of facts,many more than any competing explanation,then it is likely to be true."

题目我看应该译作
如何作出最好的（历史）解释
或者
作出最好解释的要旨 （意思就是 作出好的解释的必备方法）
C.Behan McCullagh 列出了作出最好的解释的七项条件.
（你的）这个的叙述,加之已被认定为真实得叙述,必须包含对现在可观察的信息进行描述的叙述.（因此,我们将第一个叙述称为假说,把对可观察的信息的叙述称为总结叙述.observation statements 这个我看是固定的,没找到中文翻译,我翻译作总结叙述,你看着办吧
较之对同一问题的其他与你矛盾的假说,你的假说必须站在给宽广的视角上,即,你叙述必须包含更为详尽的总结叙述.
较之对同一问题的其他与你矛盾的假说,你的假说必须具有更强的解释力,即,它必须使它的总结叙述比别的更像真实的.
较之对同一问题的其他与你矛盾的假说,你的假说必须更像真的,即,肯定你的假说的那些已被接受的事实更多,更具说服力的.同时,否定你的假说的意见更少,更不具说服力.
较之对同一问题的其他与你矛盾的假说,你的假说必须更笼统,即,对尚未认定的历史所作出的新推定必须更少.
较之对同一问题的其他与你矛盾的假说,能够对你的假说进行反驳的定论更少,即,当你的假说涉及已被接受的事实的时候,你的总结叙述和被认为是错误的叙述必须更少.
对同一问题的其他与你矛盾的假说,你的假说必须在2至6项特征上超过它们很多才能让其他假说没有机会.
McCullagh总结说,“如果你的解释视角很广阔,解释力度很强,那么你的假说可以解释的事实就很多,远多于其他的假说,这样,你的假说很可能就变成真的了.
