摘要:

李善兰不仅是晚清著名的数学家、天文学家、物理学家、植物学家和教育家,还是卓越的科学翻译家。作为科学翻译家,他一生译著等身,译笔延及数学、天文学、力学、植物学等多个西方近代科学重要领域,其涉猎之广博、钻研之精深、格局之瞻远,晚清恐只此一人。他在充分理解西方科学概念,并慎重考量中国传统科学术语内涵之后,通过“承旧名,扬传统”“沿已名,统其法”“借旧物,广其用”和“立新名,荐其事”,建立起西学译名体系,为近代中国科学术语译名规范化和中国科学近代化做出重要贡献。

Abstract:

Li Shanlan is a well-known mathematician, astronomer, physicist, botanist, educator as well as translator in the late Qing Dynasty of China. As an outstanding translator, he had 8 great translation works published in his lifetime, totaling 104 volumes and covering many important fields of modern western sciences—mathematics, astronomy, mechanics and botany. His erudite knowledge, profound research, and far-sighted vista mark the translator somebody in the Chinese history. Having fully understood the western scientific concepts and carefully examined the implications of the traditional Chinese scientific terms,Li Shanlan established a western translation terminology system by “inheriting the old terms so as to promote the Chinese tradition”,“following the existing terms so as to be consistent”,“borrowing the old things so as to broaden their use”,and “adopting new terms so as to introduce new things”,thus making great contributions to the standardization of modern Chinese scientific terminology translation and the modernization of the Chinese science.

Key words: Li Shanlan, scientific terminology, terminology translation
