Comments on Missionaries’ Biological Translation in Qing Dynasty (1644-1911)
Abstract
During the history of Qing Dynasty which lasted over 260 years, many biological translation works translated by missionaries in China had been published. These biological translation works were the basis of the development of the Chinese biology in modern times; and at the same time, the process and result of the translation could not only be analyzed by modern translation theories such as Skopos Theory, but also had provided materials for the research of translation theory and practice. Therefore, making research on these translation works is helpful to reappear the conditions of biological communication between China and western countries in Qing Dynasty and make research on missionaries’ scientific translation.
