INTRODUCTION, u: Q7 j: ^$ \0 q& b+ E2 }6 I
John Fryer (1839-1928) was an English missionary and& o% U% ^: f! W- R/ U+ s8 V
a great translator in the late Qing dynasty (1840-1912).
" ]& {" D! |' D( n( zDriven by his intense interest in China, Fryer came to8 Z1 N5 E6 f" v0 |- e8 [
Hong Kong in the year of 1861 to serve as the dean of7 g& Y. C. o( ^& L
St. Paul’s College. And in 1868, Fryer was employed
( O" b j+ v( ~6 F3 r0 v& bby The Translation Department of Kiangnan Arsenal as
9 r9 K0 F$ v( B' Q" qan editor and chief translator. During the 28 years on( `# v3 G6 ]4 R( ?# m
his job, with the help of his colleague Xu Shou (1818-& I9 X: L! m+ ~( e1 S
1884), Fryer translated a great deal of Western scientific: b B& Z" y. q, n; d7 o& C
works and illustrated his translation ideas. As a foreigner,/ T9 N: S- r0 W# z8 l$ v! }4 P
Fryer adopted the Buddhist technique of oral instruction.

would transcribe what Fryer said into literary Chinese,

Fryer translated more than one hundred of Western/ T- d0 u) h+ P
books that made him the most productive one among the" d/ g$ Q% w: a$ \
foreign translators of that time (Wang, 1998). For Fryer,6 B" _ e* G, h
translating Western scientific books into Chinese was a
, V F# J- S! n/ X2 j7 ~noble work which could help accelerate the process of
8 J$ A* y+ W, b$ F9 o0 Dpeople’s enlightenment of science (Chen, 2000, p.83).: }6 f! j; _* z4 d: U# J% R
In addition to his achievements in translation, Fryer, f5 m0 b. V) I6 T
also paid much attention to the dissemination of Western
. [9 R* N. W2 u sscience and the standardization of translated scientific
: J! a( W( |; M# g' O+ qterms in Modern China. He set up the first scientific

7 _/ y+ J q* G! |establishment of Shanghai Deaf-mutes School. Another2 o8 @/ v. y2 v+ q+ F
contribution made by Fryer was that he translated a series* f$ C5 B7 _* {3 h8 q& V
of chemistry books which filled the blanks of chemistry in
