中东研究的立场问题

Stand on Mideast Study

当前中东局势的发展吸引了全世界的目光,自然也吸引了中国人的目光。中国学术界也越来越关注中东问题的研究。但是由于研究者本身条件的不同,使从事中东研究的学者们站在了不同的立场上。学习阿拉伯语科班出身的学者与阿拉伯世界有着较为密切的联系,常常站在阿拉伯的立场上来研究中东问题;非阿拉伯语科班出身的学者,因为条件限制,只能阅读中文材料和英文等西方文字材料而受到其中所含立场的影响,在客观上彰显了其亲西方的立场。笔者认为研究中东问题的中国学者最需要的是中国国家利益的立场。

Development of current Mideast situation is attracting the attention of both Chinese people and those all over the world.The Chinese scholars in this field are also paying more and more attention to it.Due to their own backgrounds,these scholars took varied stands.Scholars of Arabic major are relatively closer to the Arabic world,and usually approach this issue from the perspective of the Arabs.Those of non-Arabic majors are only confined to Chinese or English(or other western languages)materials,and affected by the attitudes embodied in such materials,hence their stand is a bit pro-western.The author holds that Chinese scholars should take their own stand to meet our national interest.
