Abstract: Lord Macartneys journal to China was initially translated into Chinese and named Qianlong Yingshi Jinjianji by Liu Bannong in 1916. Over a century, there emerged another Chinese version by Gao Boyu and several modern editions based on Lius translation. The translation and introduction of Macartney's journal in/to China well illustrates how a text has transformed from a private narrative into a disciplinary narrative through translation, retranslation and revisions. This study is hopefully to cast some light on the translation and reception of historical documents.

Key words: Macartneys journal to China, ontological narrative, disciplinary narrative, translation, retranslation, revision

摘要: 1916年刘半农译《乾隆英使觐见记》,此为马戛尔尼访华日记汉译之滥觞。百年来,香港掌故大家高伯雨将日记手稿整理本译为中文,之后多个基于刘半农译本的现代重版本相继问世。马戛尔尼访华日记在中国的百年译介很好地说明了文本如何通过翻译、复译和改版等行为,从私人叙事衍化为展现不同历史面向的学科叙事,对历史文献类文本的翻译与接受具有一定的启示意义。
