摘　　要：本文着重考察了19世纪末期中西文化交流史上的重要刊物《中国评论》所刊载的来华英人哲美森所译《大清律例》之部分篇章。研究发现,哲美森译本虽未全面涵盖清律全部条款,但其基于个人旨趣及时局,系统诠释性地翻译了《兵律·关津》与《户律》的“户役、田宅、婚姻”诸篇。哲美森的译文既关注律文,亦看重例文,同时注意与英国法的比较,从而有效促成西人对中国传统律典的理解。这一译本亦可作为西方对中国法律的关注由刑事向民商事转向的一则例证。This article focuses on George Jamieson’s translation of sections of Lü-Li,or Genernal Code of Laws of the Chinese Empire,which were published in The China Review,the leading magazine in the history of Sino-Western cultural exchange at the end of the19th century.Although Jamieson’s translation did not cover all of the sections,based on the translator’s personal interests and the needs of the time,he systematically interpreted the sections of“Military Law”,“Board of Revenue”dealing with household labor,farm houses and marriage.Jamieson imported the terms and conceptions from English Common Law,with the aim to help Westerns get a better understanding of Chinese law.His translation can also serve as an example of the shift of Western attention to Chinese law from criminal to civil affairs.
