论清代来华传教士生物学译著对晚清生物学发展的贡献

Research on the Contributions of the Biological Translations by Missionaries Coming to China to the Development of Biology in the Qing Dynasty

清代西方近代生物学知识的在华传播主要通过来华传教士生物学译著的形式开展.来华传教士近代意义上的西方生物学著作的汉译工作始于明末,至晚清第二次西学东渐时期达到顶峰.在这些译著中,传教士在引介西方近代生物学知识的同时,也带来了诸多创开先河的生物学术语,更在译著中对西方科学研究中较为先进的科研方法等进行了推介,从而推动了晚清生物学的发展.

The biological translations by the missionaries coming to China were the main channels of the transmission of western biological knowledge during the Qing Dynasty.The translation of western modern biological works began at the end of the Ming Dynasty,and boomed during the second time of Western learning spread to the East in the late Qing Dynasty.During the process of translation,the missionaries had not only introduced modern western biological knowledge,but also some creative biological terms.Furthermore,there were also introductions to scientific research methods used in western science,thus promoting the development of biology during the late Qing Dynasty.
