《天下月刊》与中国戏剧的对外传播

T'ien Hsia Monthly and the Overseas Spread of Chinese Opera

《天下月刊》创刊于1935年8月。作为一份全英文的对外宣传刊物,它倡导中西文化交流的理念,着力将中国文化译介到国外。《天下月刊》刊载了大量中国戏剧研究的论文、中国戏剧剧本的译文和有关中国戏剧译本的评论,为中国戏剧对外传播开拓了先河。

T＇ien Hsia Monthly was inaugurated in Shanghai in August 1935. As an English magazine, T＇ien Hsia Monthly advocated the idea of communication between Chinese and Western cultures, trying to translate and transmit Chinese culture abroad. T＇ien Hsia Monthly presented a large number of articles on the study of Chinese Opera, the translations of Chinese plays and comments on the English versions of Chinese plays, and created a precedent for the overseas spread of Chinese Opera.
