英国的汉学研究自17世纪以来,一直具有较多的功利主义特点,这在一定程度上阻碍了英国汉学的发展,英国本土早期的汉学家也因此未能跻身于世界一流的汉学家之列。直到19世纪英国汉学家理雅各、德庇时、翟理斯三人的出现,才使得英国汉学有了一个突破,也真正为英国汉学赢得了国际声誉。本文将重点评介这三位汉学家的研究情况和汉学成果,以及他们在英国汉学史上的重要地位。 Since the 17th century, sinological research in the UK has always had more utilitarian features, which to a certain extent impeded the development of the study of sinology in the UK. Therefore, the early British sinologists in Britain failed to rank among the world-class sinologists. It was not until the appearance of British sinologists James Legge and Derbysy in the 19th century that the appearance of the three people made a breakthrough in British Sinology and won the international reputation of British Sinology. This article will focus on the research of the three Sinologists and the achievements of Sinology, and their important position in the history of Sinology in England.
