埃萨·德·克罗斯笔下的中国形象

The Image of China in the Works of ECa de Queiróz

作为欧洲最早与中国接触的民族之一，葡萄牙人在不同的历史时期塑造了不同的中国形象，其中19世纪著名作家埃萨·德·克罗斯（Ega de Queir6z）所创作的文本饶有兴味。本文依据萨义德的东方学理论，通过对作者的《迭官》和《中国人与日本人》两部作品的分析，考察了作者在塑造中国形象方面的两面性：一方面他参与了当时西方否定中国的“大合唱”，另一面又借中国之酒杯，浇自己之块垒。

As one of the first to make contact with China, the Portuguese have formed different images of China in different periods in history. Among them, the well-known 19^th century writer Eca de Queiroz wrote some interesting works. Base on Said＇s theory of Orientalism, this essay attempts to analyse two different images of China depicted by Eca de Queiroz in his Mandarin and Chinese and Japanese. On the one hand, Eca de Queiroz joined the choir of disapproval of China in the western world of his time; on the other hand, he used China as ＂a Persian letter＂ to criticize his own country.
