高一课本Unit 11 Lesson 1: It is going to be remembered as a historical meeting this year,...这里用historical不对吧?好像该用historic

是应该用historic。

historic historical

前者这个形容词是作“具有历史意义的”讲,后者这个形容词是作“与历史有关的”或“历史上的”讲,要加以区别。(注:prehistoric与prehistorical是同义,都作“史前的”讲,但以使用前者较多,所以个别英语词典已不把后者编取了。)
例如:historic cities/castle/document/occasion/times,etc. historical limitations/society/character/play,etc.
比较:a historic novel一部有历史意义的小说;a historic event值得纪念的历史事件;etc.
a historical novel一部历史小说;the historical event历史上确有其事的事件;etc.

“Historic” is an adjective that means something important or influential in history.“Historical,” is an adjective that refers to anything from the past, important or not.
