摘　　要：新时代以来,国内陆续翻译出版了一批海外晚清史研究的译著,涉及晚清政治、经济、外交、社会文化等诸多方面,在国内学界产生了一定影响。海外晚清史研究关注的视角新颖,出现了新社会史、新政治史、新文化史、全球史等研究趋向;这些译著多运用跨学科方法进行比较研究,重视外文史料,并结合中文资料进行生动可读的历史叙事,其中有部分著作也出现对史料理解错误、过度解读的情况;在理论范式方面,以美国为代表的海外晚清史研究不仅经历了“冲击-回应”“中国中心观”“国家-社会”等不同研究范式的转变,还存在将理论范式生搬硬套于晚清史研究的问题。国内学界应客观看待海外晚清史的译著,并加快引进海外的最新成果;加强对海外史料的挖掘利用,从不同视角深化推进晚清史研究;不能盲目学习膜拜西方的理论范式,而应加快构建本土的晚清史研究自主的知识体系。Since the New Era,a series of overseas works on the history of the late Qing Dynasty have been translated and published in China,covering a wide range of topics,including politics,economy,diplomacy,social culture,and many other aspects.This has had a certain impact on domestic academic circles.Overseas studies of late Qing history often adopt novel perspectives,influenced by new social history,new political history,new cultural history,global history,and other research trends.Most of these translated works employ interdisciplinary methods for comparative research,emphasizing the use of foreign historical materials.They combine those with Chinese materials to create vivid and readable historical narratives.However,some of these works misunderstand or over-interpret historical materials.In terms of theoretical paradigms,overseas studies on late Qing history,represented by the United States,have experienced changes between different research paradigms such as"Impact-Response","China-centric view",and"State-Society".Occasionally,these studies have forced theoretical paradigms onto late Qing history studies.Scholars in China should evaluate these translated overseas works on late Qing history objectively and accelerate the introduction of the latest achievements from abroad.We should make more efforts to strengthen the excavation and utilization of overseas historical materials,deepening the study of late Qing history from various perspectives.We should not blindly follow and worship western theoretical paradigms.Instead,we should expedite the construction of an independent knowledge system for late Qing history research in China.
