摘　　要：传统海盗研究将海盗视为自主行为体(autonomous agents)和激进分子,将海盗生活描述为简单的自由与奴役二元对立。这样的研究范式已然根深蒂固。从17世纪后期至18世纪前期活跃于加勒比群岛和印度洋之间的英国海盗的活动来看,这些海盗往往具有融入陆地社会的愿景,并希望得到陆上殖民地社群的保护,而陆地社会对海盗的态度以及海盗的法律地位也并非一成不变。这些充分说明了流行的海盗形象被过度简化,那些“循规蹈矩”的海盗也应受到海盗史研究者的重视。Traditional pirate studies view pirates as autonomous agents and radical individuals,depicting pirate life as a simple dichotomy between freedom and enslavement.This research paradigm has become deeply entrenched.However,examining the activities of English pirates who were active between the late 17th and early 18th centuries in the Caribbean and the Indian Ocean reveals that these pirates often harboured visions of integrating into landed societies and sought the protection of land-based colonial communities.Additionally,the attitudes of landed societies towards pirates and the legal status of pirates were not static.These factors collectively demonstrate that the popular image of pirates has been overly simplified,and that“well-behaved”pirates also deserve attention from pirate history researchers.
