But when the people lose their historical perspective,it falls to historians and other academics to make sure the candle of great contributions continues to burn.
\
答
但是当人们不善于用历史的观点看待问题时,对重大贡献作出检验的任务就落在了历史学家和其他学者的肩上.
candle 作动词时,有"对着光检查"的意思.
make sure the candle of great contributions continues to burn 可以意译为"对重大贡献作出检验",与文章下文的意思相符.
