一个共产党员的经历——《毛泽东自传》的流传和汉译本版本研究

The Experience of a Communist Party Member--A Study on the Spread and Chinese Translation Version of Mao Zedong Autobiography

记述毛泽东及其领导下的红色中国,是美国记者埃德加·斯诺名著《红星照耀中国》的主题,而该书的第四章《一个共产党员的经历》①则是其核心内容。这是唯一由毛泽东本人系统介绍自己生平的口述史料,也是关于毛泽东的最早的口述史料,可以说是毛泽东口述史研究的基石。探究其形成和流传的经过,及其汉译本版本的发展演变状况,具有重要的学术意义。

The description of Mao Zedong and the Red China under his leadership is the theme of American journalist Edgar Snow's famous book the Red Star Over China,and the fourth chapter of the book,the Experience of a Communist,is the core content.This is the only oral historical data about his life systematically introduced by Mao Zedong,and it is also the earliest oral historical data about Mao Zedong,which can be said to be the cornerstone of Mao Zedong's oral history research.It is of great academic significance to explore the process of its formation and spread,as well as the development and evolution of the Chinese version.
