INTRODUCTION* j% K7 [ }2 |$ a! Q
John Fryer (1839-1928) was an English missionary and: `9 E' H. l1 F: y
a great translator in the late Qing dynasty (1840-1912).
( K4 L5 Z' a& p9 X9 gDriven by his intense interest in China, Fryer came to
8 u+ N# Z1 x% S h2 L* O$ M4 u- {Hong Kong in the year of 1861 to serve as the dean of% m: U2 l/ M: k* y1 `
St. Paul’s College. And in 1868, Fryer was employed
. p( q4 M9 @0 p( n6 pby The Translation Department of Kiangnan Arsenal as) c! g; a+ ~, a
an editor and chief translator. During the 28 years on
8 k9 f* t/ w9 s+ c% [" z) I( {8 ^: ^# @his job, with the help of his colleague Xu Shou (1818-
+ A6 S$ X& w5 B7 } L# Z* X1884), Fryer translated a great deal of Western scientific
1 M% t. {6 Z+ l+ z, Dworks and illustrated his translation ideas. As a foreigner,- X# K- f% j: T6 [7 j
Fryer adopted the Buddhist technique of oral instruction.
# `$ V& t/ O* C" q u6 U, h% i! o8 SNamely, sitting with his Chinese assistant, Fryer dictated

Fryer translated more than one hundred of Western
4 T& Y# h5 k: P) ubooks that made him the most productive one among the
: b+ V# S2 k# X+ N: h: Cforeign translators of that time (Wang, 1998). For Fryer,
, t, h2 J* {, B* u3 V% Z! ktranslating Western scientific books into Chinese was a H/ N5 ^! Q& i" u9 _
noble work which could help accelerate the process of

9 j+ W: I; U$ C {- nIn addition to his achievements in translation, Fryer! `9 D! `9 [6 i5 N. D- S1 F; J) W
also paid much attention to the dissemination of Western$ U1 S$ n" l" I% A
science and the standardization of translated scientific
