摘要
本文考察了 18- 19世纪在广州的洋人家庭里打工的中国佣人或仆役之类的市井小人物 ,在与西方人的广泛深入交往的过程中 ,怎样和他们打交道 ,从中学会了什么 ,如何去学等问题。这些小人物在日常生活的各个方面 ,从西方人那里学习一套新的知识、技能、词汇和语言 ,在中西文化交流史上 ,扮演着应该得到重视的角色。
Using a variety of materials including memoirs, journals,private correspondences,dictionaries,and manuals for learning English and Cantonese,this article examines how the Chinese servants employed in foreigners'families in eighteenth-and nineteenth-century Guangzhou might have learnt the knowledge they needed.While serving their employers,these Chinese servants managed to acquire a new set of techniques,vocabularies and languages.The role they played in the history of Sino-Western cuhural exchanges should not be overlooked.
