INTRODUCTION$ k/ C6 K: A2 v+ j/ }
John Fryer (1839-1928) was an English missionary and
; b4 S+ l" \" ?/ [4 r( L0 M1 ja great translator in the late Qing dynasty (1840-1912).
9 A7 f, K1 W# ~. C5 M* p+ }Driven by his intense interest in China, Fryer came to
( r- g- \1 ?) E$ E3 X# z0 V4 MHong Kong in the year of 1861 to serve as the dean of8 B. }& ~1 c' [+ ^9 D1 @3 B
St. Paul’s College. And in 1868, Fryer was employed7 Z" ?2 O: _/ a% y6 t; D" a
by The Translation Department of Kiangnan Arsenal as
8 w( R- x0 y4 N Aan editor and chief translator. During the 28 years on4 b- u+ i9 S) ?9 w, a4 p
his job, with the help of his colleague Xu Shou (1818-. p3 _5 t* b! d& g
1884), Fryer translated a great deal of Western scientific e( s) {8 x: X) O K1 ~
works and illustrated his translation ideas. As a foreigner,
9 N2 p7 s, E) \; E# m' YFryer adopted the Buddhist technique of oral instruction.
/ z0 x" V6 [. c' p! G8 E) G' f8 YNamely, sitting with his Chinese assistant, Fryer dictated9 K/ s5 f. ~- U) ` E
to him sentence by sentence, while the Chinese assistant
2 X1 g3 l: Z0 l% b& y/ {! F/ dwould transcribe what Fryer said into literary Chinese,9 u3 u) s' \" A: C: }
revise the manuscript and correct errors. By this means,
( Y0 ]7 f7 j% Y" o3 ^# PFryer translated more than one hundred of Western: w8 g4 p' X' t+ Z
books that made him the most productive one among the* g: c. r7 `) n& T$ ?6 i* Z f
foreign translators of that time (Wang, 1998). For Fryer,
! \9 j/ Z8 m6 w' i7 R5 ktranslating Western scientific books into Chinese was a
0 o4 d; B5 Z: B' Lnoble work which could help accelerate the process of+ \( K6 u& D+ \- A1 f: L7 B
people’s enlightenment of science (Chen, 2000, p.83).
9 N. ~0 k! Y9 Q8 u/ O) y" g, pIn addition to his achievements in translation, Fryer8 p. X; r4 A7 i$ O, k T
also paid much attention to the dissemination of Western' J9 R, T5 s- S8 _7 G/ E1 L
science and the standardization of translated scientific
