Ming ditties by Feng Menglong

本書匯集王宏志教授近年關於翻譯與中國近代外交史的研究成果，從翻譯的角度重新審視近代中英外交史。作者以翻譯為切入點，運用大量珍貴檔案材料，圍繞18世紀末至19世紀中期中英交往中的關鍵事件展開深入分析，挖掘馬戛爾尼使團、阿美士德使團、道光禁煙、鴉片戰爭、《南京條約》及《虎門條約》的簽署，以至蒲安臣使團等重大歷史事件中的翻譯問題，並聚焦小斯當東、馬禮遜、萬寧、羅伯聃、馬儒翰、郭實獵等關鍵人物作為譯者在其中扮演的複雜角色。本書力圖通過探討翻譯個案，還原近代中英外交過程中的溝通與翻譯過程，揭示翻譯在中國近代外交活動中的重要作用，論證其對國家政治、文化與歷史進程的影響，有助讀者重新理解翻譯與近代外交史、政治史之間的密切關聯。
