INTRODUCTION
4 `5 I9 t; H8 \, s. hJohn Fryer (1839-1928) was an English missionary and
" J/ J6 \2 E! B' a! J, ca great translator in the late Qing dynasty (1840-1912).
1 |) }9 t2 y5 F& {" jDriven by his intense interest in China, Fryer came to: x$ R& w5 ^. g- M
Hong Kong in the year of 1861 to serve as the dean of' S5 f0 y8 J( ]" k3 M) b
St. Paul’s College. And in 1868, Fryer was employed
$ S" P& b8 |, L8 C2 [8 ^8 Wby The Translation Department of Kiangnan Arsenal as' o$ C% f/ |- K) z
an editor and chief translator. During the 28 years on
/ H& e2 l X9 b% Nhis job, with the help of his colleague Xu Shou (1818-
) `) w9 V6 d& c% t! o: N1884), Fryer translated a great deal of Western scientific
, h+ p, I7 x5 Vworks and illustrated his translation ideas. As a foreigner,
( Y; Y4 b+ N) \/ a# ^* C! b5 PFryer adopted the Buddhist technique of oral instruction.
( m3 p& u/ H, f4 k( l. j2 K' p2 U' sNamely, sitting with his Chinese assistant, Fryer dictated# W3 z1 p5 G g( y
to him sentence by sentence, while the Chinese assistant

revise the manuscript and correct errors. By this means,
# q' `- s# N; ]* z o, U( ~Fryer translated more than one hundred of Western+ o" x! v6 @( X* e* q n( I
books that made him the most productive one among the
8 q9 I' p. K% ]3 i- x" zforeign translators of that time (Wang, 1998). For Fryer,
" V7 u* ^. r* A8 ttranslating Western scientific books into Chinese was a
' C. h2 J2 b- t/ b5 `noble work which could help accelerate the process of

. A* C5 s1 o& z/ q' I5 yIn addition to his achievements in translation, Fryer, O% k8 h/ M3 x" f& {; ?8 c
also paid much attention to the dissemination of Western6 Q5 D( S9 w: G2 {* ^1 ~
