摘　　要：乡村的雇佣劳动与雇佣关系是中世纪史研究的重要课题。在经济社会史和日常生活史兴起的学术背景下,英国乡村雇工的生活水平引起了国内外学者的广泛关注。作为雇工收入的重要来源,工资的作用一向为学界所重视。目前的工资问题研究过于重视工资及其购买力的变化趋势,对工资差别与受雇佣时间的持续性缺乏关注,从而导致对雇工生活水平的复杂性和多样性认识不足。作为工资史研究的两个重要维度,对工资差别和工资收入的探讨可以弥补枯燥的统计表格和曲线造成的认识不足,有助于我们更全面地了解中世纪乡村雇工的生活状况。Rural wage labour and employment relationship are important topics in the studies of medieval history.Under the academic background of economic-social history,the living standards of rural labourers attracted wide attention of scholars both at home and abroad,which gave birth to a large number of research findings.As a major income source of labourers,wage has always been paid great attention in academic circles.In current study,so much emphasis has been placed on the tendencies of the wages and its purchasing power,but the wage differentials and the sustainability of hired work are short of adequate attention,leading to insufficient knowledge about the complexity and diversity of labourers' living standards.As two important perspectives of wages history study,investigations on wage differentials and wage-earnings are able to make up intellectual deficiency resulted from boring statistical tables and curves,and can also help us to understand more comprehensively the living conditions of rural workers in medieval England.
