INTRODUCTION. n3 H) J3 W! q
John Fryer (1839-1928) was an English missionary and
# ~; ]1 J5 R3 j9 \6 pa great translator in the late Qing dynasty (1840-1912).
0 m3 z1 F9 {- x6 B+ J: }Driven by his intense interest in China, Fryer came to2 K* V0 ]0 J5 W; g5 o
Hong Kong in the year of 1861 to serve as the dean of
. o. ]1 q2 Y- I0 S) ISt. Paul’s College. And in 1868, Fryer was employed

his job, with the help of his colleague Xu Shou (1818-
$ w/ F" {( _( \3 ~1884), Fryer translated a great deal of Western scientific

4 G l. m: \. yFryer adopted the Buddhist technique of oral instruction.

to him sentence by sentence, while the Chinese assistant

Fryer translated more than one hundred of Western
1 q1 T; Y& M! k: g2 Mbooks that made him the most productive one among the( g# i' N' t) H* u
foreign translators of that time (Wang, 1998). For Fryer,
