John Fryer (1839-1928) was an English missionary and. J% N5 e- W8 r7 l# f4 f3 w$ W
a great translator in the late Qing dynasty (1840-1912).
5 D- Q# _( C5 GDriven by his intense interest in China, Fryer came to; J( s7 y- T, M4 m
Hong Kong in the year of 1861 to serve as the dean of# [2 ]& R- H+ k; J$ c ^
St. Paul’s College. And in 1868, Fryer was employed/ M. H% R+ V- B9 ]
by The Translation Department of Kiangnan Arsenal as- ?# X3 }3 o4 ~7 q
an editor and chief translator. During the 28 years on
" \- _4 }: h6 c2 B0 x a" this job, with the help of his colleague Xu Shou (1818-
9 w: f6 r* X: k+ @' i5 S1884), Fryer translated a great deal of Western scientific! V+ Z1 c& b5 d; h; J' E
works and illustrated his translation ideas. As a foreigner,- C* I: w2 q ]2 N
Fryer adopted the Buddhist technique of oral instruction.

would transcribe what Fryer said into literary Chinese,$ V' ~: V5 S2 D% F$ M# U
revise the manuscript and correct errors. By this means,9 z# i( n+ a& G) e# a- j
Fryer translated more than one hundred of Western8 e/ {1 R- ^; E+ i f& ~% I
books that made him the most productive one among the5 |% `- h# G# S
foreign translators of that time (Wang, 1998). For Fryer,( Z& e2 l4 O( c+ E3 T' C
translating Western scientific books into Chinese was a

In addition to his achievements in translation, Fryer. e `: h. _& X( V8 ?
also paid much attention to the dissemination of Western2 f+ C- Y1 Z0 E9 H/ P4 M3 S* F1 C
science and the standardization of translated scientific

establishment of Shanghai Deaf-mutes School. Another+ H: k7 @6 `8 p3 _; H$ F2 X, j+ ]
contribution made by Fryer was that he translated a series3 U9 \2 A8 L% n- s3 T( T( @
