摘要
马可·波罗、鄂多立克和马黎诺里是最早来杭州游历并向欧洲介绍杭州的三位欧洲旅行家。他们在《游记》中描述了 14世纪中叶之前的杭州城市风貌 ,这是迄今所知西方人勾勒的最初的杭州印象。明清欧人对杭州的报道是马可·波罗时代的继续 ,元代旅行家对杭州的描绘 ,启迪了明清欧人更为客观。
Marco Polo,Odoric and Giovanni are the three European tourists who first came to Hangzhou and introduced the city to Europeans In their memoirs of travel they described all the aspects of Hangzhou city before the middle period of the 14th century,and this is the first impression about Hangzhou made by westerners.In the Ming and Qing Dynasties the reports of the city by Europeans are a continuation of the Maco Pole epoch.The delineation of Hangzhou done by tourists in the Yuan Dynasty initiated a more objective and comprebensive description of Hangzhou by Europeans in the Ming and Qing Dynasties.
