I would like to thank Professor Michael Friedrich (University of Hamburg) for his insightful comments and criticism on an earlier draft. 1 If not further specified ‘manuscript’ refers to ‘multi-slip manuscripts’. The term is meant to refer to manu- scripts consisting of at least two bamboo or wood slips that are connected by binding strings. Cf. the term ‘multi-strip [document]’ [emphasis added] coined by Michael Loewe (1967, vol. 1, x). Technically speaking such multi-slip manuscripts can be named ‘codicological units’.

  • Excerpt from American Studies in China •fi •Œpart IV. Thirty Years of Research in American History in Chinaâ•Š
    Selections from American Studies in China, edited by Priscilla Roberts and forthcoming on the US‐China Education Trust website (http://www.uscet.net/template/index.cfm). Part IV. Thirty Years of Research in American History in China American history research is a relatively young discipline in China. Although in practice Chinese studies of American history began rather early, in the first half of the twentieth century, at that time most publications in American history were edited or translated works. After 1949, Chinese academic historians began to place greater importance on studying foreign historians, and a number of compilations on American history were published. Since 1978, with the implementation of the reform and opening-up policies in Mainland China, the study of American history, like other disciplines, has experienced unprecedented development. In the last thirty years, research in American history has become a field for serious academic study, as it has gradually escaped from the dominance of political ideology, and publications in this field have gone beyond translations and compilations. I. Trends and Achievements The turning point for American history research in China occurred between 1978 and 1979, when two major events provided new opportunities to develop research in American history. Firstly, with the implementation of the reform and opening up policy, China became ever more tolerant politically and witnessed a liberation movement in political and academic thinking. Taking advantage of this favorable development, research in American history entered a new era of rapid development. Secondly, the establishment of diplomatic relations between the People’s Republic of China (PRC) and the United States in 1979 brought an end to years of hostility and isolation.

But his so-called trans- lation of Sun Tzu, if placed side by side with the original, is seen at once to be little better than an imposture.

Sun Tzu is a book with universal value and eternal wisdom, which can be applied by people of all the times to human activities of all the fields. This book incorporates many military terms which are important for the understanding of it. All the Chinese commentators in the history have their own understanding of these terms, and the same is true for Sun Tzu’s English translators. The author of this paper aims to compare two English translations of Sun Tzu: the translation by American comparative philosopher Roger T. Ames and the translation by Chinese scholar Lin Wusun. The author selects twelve military terms from Sun Tzu and compares the translations of these two translators and makes an evaluation and comment on their renderings. In the end, he will try to explore the reasons behind the two translators’ translation methods. Index Terms—Sun Tzu: The Art of War, military terms, Roger T. Ames, Lin Wusun, English translations I. INTRODUCTION Sun Tzu: The Art of War, which has thirteen chapters, is the oldest and the most famous military treatise existed in the world.
