英语翻译
The somewhat widespread notion that Columbus fought with opposition based on the idea that earth was flat is a literary myth created by Washington Irving .Contrary to this belief ,most people at that time accepted that the earth was round .

答案

有点广为流传的{的故事}其实是华盛顿欧文创作的文学神话.与此相反,当时大多数人都已经接受了地球是圆的这个理论.
The somewhat widespread notion is a literary myth created by Washington Irving .Contrary to this belief ,most people at that time accepted that the earth was round .
题目中,“(...)"中opposition作为fought with的宾语,其余修饰opposition,opposition是被建立在idea之上,所以用based on表被动,idea that earth was flat中,that earth was flat 是作为idea的同位语从句.""中则是一个notion的同位语从句.所以前一个句子的主体其实是 notion is a literary myth.
