西方传教士来华的目的就是传播福音和归化中国。为了更好地为传教服务,他们中的许多人进行儒经的翻译和研究。传教士翻译《论语》的动机是要从该典籍中找到基督教是真理且优于儒教的证据,并证明耶儒有相通之处,进而用基督教代替儒教。传教士翻译《论语》的策略是对儒学作“神学化”诠释,用基督教神学附会儒学。 The purpose of Western missionaries coming to China is to spread the gospel and naturalize China. In order to better serve the missionary, many of them conduct Confucian classics translation and research. The missionary’s motivation for translating The Analects is to find out from the classics that Christianity is truth and superior to Confucianism, and that the Confucian schools have similarities and then replace Confucianism with Christianity. The missionary’s strategy of translating “The Analects” is to “Confucianism” “theological” interpretation, Confucianism with Christian theology.
