INTRODUCTION
1 n$ Z. T: A2 C( _7 SJohn Fryer (1839-1928) was an English missionary and7 ]+ A4 Q- q1 A
a great translator in the late Qing dynasty (1840-1912). K; C! {% i, |1 W/ {
Driven by his intense interest in China, Fryer came to
" s4 F6 i5 j+ K+ Z! \. T5 D, vHong Kong in the year of 1861 to serve as the dean of/ c+ K9 y: y6 O/ {5 n( U
St. Paul’s College. And in 1868, Fryer was employed
; i6 n; ^; g1 iby The Translation Department of Kiangnan Arsenal as
: J! a: Z7 D) kan editor and chief translator. During the 28 years on2 _, s& g7 |0 o: X- z8 M
his job, with the help of his colleague Xu Shou (1818-) r' ^1 s. m" |
1884), Fryer translated a great deal of Western scientific2 _4 A/ {- p8 e( a2 ^5 j" g i
works and illustrated his translation ideas. As a foreigner,4 ]( }1 }0 D, `! K" I6 f8 c
Fryer adopted the Buddhist technique of oral instruction.

to him sentence by sentence, while the Chinese assistant

" O- Z2 D* z1 {& cbooks that made him the most productive one among the

translating Western scientific books into Chinese was a& m/ @. R1 f S+ P& Q2 |; @
noble work which could help accelerate the process of# v5 o4 y- w/ R

In addition to his achievements in translation, Fryer3 c2 ~& L4 Z0 z7 x( H3 `4 L1 ~ D
