摘　　要：The various definitions of science fiction reflect different understandings of science and fantasy and their relationship. Through a review of the development history of the British and American definitions of science fiction and related controversies, we find that changes in science fiction's definition are often accompanied by the reorientation and reimagination of its position in society and culture. As people's perceptions deepen, the shifting boundary between science and fantasy has important implications for a better understanding of science fiction.
