摘　　要：晚清科学译著《重学》译自英国胡威立的An Elementary Treatiseon Mechanics,该书共有7个版本,《重学》译自哪一个版本的问题至今悬而未决。文章通过《重学》与原著不同版本的对比研究,确定《重学》的底本为1836年出版的第五版。在此基础上分析了《重学》与原著之间的差别,廓清了目前国内一些相关说法。Zhongxue is a Chinese translation of W.Whewell＇s An Elementary Treatise on Mechanics,which was translated by Joseph Edkins and Li Shanlan and published in 1859.There are seven editions of Whewell＇s treatise.That Zhongxue is translated from which of the editions is still an unresolved issue.Based on a comparison of the Zhongxue with different editions of An Elementary Treatise on Mechanics,this paper comes to conclusion that the Zhongxue was translated from the fifth edition published in 1836.The paper also analyzes the differences between Zhongxue and its original texts,and corrects some popular inaccurate statements.
