John Fryer (1839-1928) was an English missionary and6 B5 z* b$ P. ]7 Q5 l
a great translator in the late Qing dynasty (1840-1912).1 y+ M& f7 k$ T$ x3 E
Driven by his intense interest in China, Fryer came to5 L# Z8 R: @3 r. H
Hong Kong in the year of 1861 to serve as the dean of
2 O/ c2 j4 u+ I7 [+ f4 ZSt. Paul’s College. And in 1868, Fryer was employed* ? }, y% ], B4 I
by The Translation Department of Kiangnan Arsenal as: @7 R( ~0 z: v' |4 C9 Y
an editor and chief translator. During the 28 years on. @5 N# _ f' K8 ~3 U+ ~7 k
his job, with the help of his colleague Xu Shou (1818-
6 }1 d! N: k6 Q- |) p1884), Fryer translated a great deal of Western scientific
2 r; U3 a$ ~6 c" Uworks and illustrated his translation ideas. As a foreigner,

would transcribe what Fryer said into literary Chinese,/ }: C3 o. @4 O/ h1 A3 T
revise the manuscript and correct errors. By this means,% Z1 q! ?. \2 m! t# ?, b
Fryer translated more than one hundred of Western- T( L4 n9 q$ h; k2 h! A) ^
books that made him the most productive one among the: F/ `4 I6 x8 j* x
foreign translators of that time (Wang, 1998). For Fryer,
/ y3 O" u0 _1 Z. z* t6 Y jtranslating Western scientific books into Chinese was a
& o1 n; J# v7 D& M4 b6 anoble work which could help accelerate the process of
! l( \* h& l2 bpeople’s enlightenment of science (Chen, 2000, p.83).

also paid much attention to the dissemination of Western3 m$ t3 y+ S: @; o
science and the standardization of translated scientific5 x0 h( S3 i- I8 |
terms in Modern China. He set up the first scientific
