马可·波罗是否真的到过中国,至今仍然是一个谜。研究表明,马可·波罗确有其人,但他在42岁以前的行踪,除了《马可·波罗游记》的记载以外,没有任何材料可以证明马可.波罗身在何处。杨志玖先生发现的那条材料,充其量只不过是一条间接材料而已,不能够成为确凿证据。而怀疑论派的观点和看法又不是没有道理的。怀疑论派与肯定论派双方都没有任何证据来证明马可·波罗是否到过中国这一关键性的问题。而《马可·波罗游记》本身的内容确实有许多出自传闻,更严重的问题是,《马可·波罗游记》中存在着大量漏写、错误和混乱的地方,这又再一次证明《马可·波罗游记》对于中国的事情只是传闻而已。因此,对于马可·波罗的研究问题,在没有确切的证据以前,在学术界没有达成共识以前,任何单方面做出的结论,都是有不负责任甚至草率之嫌疑。
Whether Marco Polo really visited China is still a mystery. Research shows that Marco Polo does have a presence, but where he was before the age of 42, there is no material other than Marco Polo’s travels to prove where Marco Polo was. The piece of material discovered by Mr. Yang Zhijiu, at best, is nothing more than an indirect material and can not be conclusive evidence. The skeptic’s views and opinions are not unreasonable. Skeptics and affirmatives do not have any evidence to prove that Marco Polo has been to China on this crucial issue. And indeed, there are many rumors in the content of “Marco Polo” itself. The more serious problem is that there are a lot of omissions, mistakes and chaos in the Travels of Marco Polo, which proves again “Marco Polo Travels” for the things of China just rumor only. Therefore, before Marco Polo’s research problem was solved, before unanswered evidence was reached, any conclusion unilaterally arrived at was irresponsible and even sloppy until there was no consensus in academia.
