摘　　要：古代"选举"的本义是选贤任能,在不同历史时期其具体指称对象不同。晚清以来,随着西方选举概念的输入,"选举"逐渐脱离中文传统涵义,转变成与英文"elect"对应的概念。这一过程不仅仅是一个语言问题,它蕴含深刻的文化喻义,与近代中西、中日间文化权势转移的大趋势相关联。"选举"的古今词义虽迥然不同,但思想层面的联系却难以完全割裂。The original meaning of the concept“Xuanju(选举)”was selecting the people of virtue and capable and appointed them as officials.The object that it specifically refers to was changed in different historical periods.Since the late Qing dynasty,with the input of the Western election concept,the concept of““Xuanju”gradually deviated from the traditional meaning,and transformed into the concept corresponding to the word“elect”.This evolution was not only a problem of language,it contained profound cultural connotation,and related to the general trend of cultural transfer between modern China and Western countries,also between modern China and Japan.Although the ancient and modern meanings of“Xuanju”are totally different,the connection of the ideological level is difficult to be completely separated.
