严复与袁世凯关系探微

A Thorough Inquiry into the Relations between Yan Fu and Yuan Shikai

严复与袁世凯结识较早,有着近三十年的交往经历,二人的关系却始终在或远或近之间。严复对袁世凯的态度是赞许与鄙视、支持与不支持、不即不离的矛盾交织体。二人的这种交往轨迹,折射出二人政治思想的离合,也烙下了深深的时代印记。

Yan Fu got acquainted with Yuan Shikai early, and they had been friends with each other for about 30 years, but their relations always remained neither estranged nor intimate. Yan Fu＇s attitude toward Yuan Shikai was very contradictory： praised and despised Yuan, supported and opposed Yuan, kept a relationship with Yuan which was neither too close nor too distant. This kind of relations between the two reflected the contradiction of their political thought, and also it was stamped with the brand of the times.
