摘　　要：病痛是美国长老会传教士在宁波传教生涯中难以避免的部分,并与其宗教情结密切相关。在传教士眼中,病痛呈现二体性,他们既要学会规避病痛的方法,也要拥有坦然迎受病痛的心态,两者之间并不矛盾。此种开放心态使得传教士能较易接受西方世俗医学和中国传统医学的内容。而在日常病痛体验中,传教士着墨最多的是虚弱感,并有意无意忽略其它体验。虚弱感主要体现在发热病症和炎热天气引发的身体不适上,具有明显的地域特色。此外,剧烈的病痛通常出现在传教士就医和死亡的场景中。不过,传教士往往巧妙地赋予此种病痛体验浓烈的宗教意味,借此抵消病痛折磨的剧烈性,并得到精神上的激励和慰藉。Illness is part of everyday life of American Presbyterian missionaries in Ningbo and is closely involved with their religious feelings.From religious perspective,illness presents duality,the missionary must not only face it positively but also know how to avoid it.The two are not contradictory,which lead missionaries more receptive to the content as Climate/Disease in traditional Chinese medical ideas.In a specific experience,whether it is unambiguous fever or physical discomfort,the most experience of missionaries is a sense of weakness,which differs in specific representation.Furthermore,severe illness usually occurs in the scene of medical treatment and death.However,missionaries often cleverly endow this illness experience with a strong religious meaning,thereby counteracting the severity of pain,and receiving spiritual encouragement and consolation.
