南京大屠殺史=A History of the Nanjing Massacre
本書是已出版的<南京大屠殺史>的英文譯著,內(nèi)容/結(jié)構(gòu)/篇章均保持原貌,完整全面客觀理性地論述南京大屠殺事件本身,由旅美華裔歷史學(xué)者翻譯,期使西方世界跨越語言隔閡,了解南京大屠殺.以增加世界和平正能量,維護(hù)二戰(zhàn)后建立的和平秩序.
西方一直缺少客觀理性介紹日本軍國主義制造南京大屠殺事件的史學(xué)著作,故南京大學(xué)出版社將《南京大屠殺史》(中文版)作為中國首個國家公祭日全民讀本出版,并著手將其翻譯為英文,A History of the Nanjing Massacare,對日軍在南京的制造的南京大屠殺進(jìn)行了全面、理性、客觀的論述,揭示了歷史的真相,有力地駁斥了日本右翼否定南京大屠殺史實(shí)的謬論。
The Nanjing Massacre is known as one of the darkest pages in twentieth-century world history. For various reasons, however, this historical tragedy remained relatively unknown to the general public in the West until the 1997 publication of Iris Chang's popular book, The Rape of Nanking: The Forgotten Holocaust of World War H. Since then, the topic has drawn more attention. At the same time, continuing denial of the massacre by right-wing Japanese scholars and politicians makes this topic no longer merely a historical event, but also part of the ongoing political discourse, particularly in East Asian countries. The publication of this translation, we believe, will provide the Western audience with a more comprehensive understanding of this atrocity and its repercussions.
fhis volume, A History of the Nanjing Massacre, is an important work deserving our attention. It is the first comprehensive narration of the massacre written by a group of Chinese scholars from Nanjing. From the fall of the city, to the atrocities themselves, to the international community's efforts to save refugees, and finally to the trials of the war criminals, the book offers a complete story of the massacre from the Chinese, Japanese, and Western perspectives. In addition, the text is based substantially upon a newly published source collection. Beginning in the year 2000, Professor Zhang Xianwen of Nanjing University, working with scholars in 20 universities and research institutions in China and abroad, led a team to collect all historical sources on the Nanjing Massacre worldwide, including archived government documents, newspaper reports, personal recollections of survivors and participants, and many other relevant sources. This massive effort resulted in the publication of 72 volumes of history-nearly 40 million Chinese characters-which is now the most comprehensive collection on the topic.2 The collection greatly contributes to the study of the Nanjing Massacre in particular but also offers further understanding of war atrocities and genocide in general. This book, as the reader will see, is a direct product of this source collection. About a year ago, Professor Zhang approached Kan Liang, his former student, to seek possible translators for the book. Kan immediately recommended Michelle LeSourd, his former classmate at the Hopkins-Nanjing Center for Chinese and American Studies and a graduate of Pomona College in Chinese language and literature. As a professional Chinese-English translator since 2002, she has translated or edited a variety of academic journal articles and monographs. Kan Liang earned his doctorate at Yale University and is currently associate professor of history and associate dean at Seattle University. Michelle was responsible for translating the text and performing English citation research, while Kan acted as editor and proofreader. Throughout the text, we chose to use Hanyu Pinyin to transliterate Chinese personal and place names, unless universally known by another spelling, and Hepburn romanization for Japanese names. Chinese and Japanese names are presented surname first, unless in an Anglicized form. To facilitate the Western reader's understanding, some background explanations are added in the text and footnotes. We would like to take this opportunity to thank the following individuals. First, we thank Professor Zhang Xianwen, who entrusted us with this meaningful project. Lisa Maynard provided meticulous copyediting for the entire English manuscript, and Erika Kinno offered crucial assistance with the many Japanese names and publication titles. We also thank Lu Jing of Nanjing University, who oversaw day-to-day communications and logistics for the translation and answered many questions arising in the process. At Nanjing University Press, editor Zhang Shuwen diligently and quickly caught errors in the manuscript, while editor Li Hongmin performed significant preparatory work for the publication.

《南京大屠殺史(英文版)》:
On New Year's Day 1912, Sun Yat-sen was sworn in as president in Nanjing, establishing the Provisional Government of the Republic of China, with Nanjing as its capital. Three months later, Sun Yat-sen ceded power to the north China warlord Yuan Shikai, in order to facilitate the abdication of the Qing emperor and lay the foundation of a republic. The capital of the Republic of China was relocated to Beijing. After the Beijin.g government was established, Yuan perversely attempted to restore the monarchy, forcing the Nationalists to continue their revolution in opposition to the northern (Beiyang) warlords. As the Northern Expedition began in 1926, the Republic of China's National Revolutionary Army moved across south China and the capital was moved to Wuhan, upstream from Nanjing on the Yangtze River. Their objective was to advance northward toward the Beiyang regime in Beijing. Northern Expedition commander Chiang Kai-shek instead decided to use his military authority to command the army to move southeast and capture Nanjing. There, he hastily established a separate Kuomintang Central Committee and a Nationalist Government. On April 18, 1927, Chiang Kai-shek ordered the publication of the "Declaration of the Establishment of the Nationalist Government Capital in Nanjing," announcing the establishment of the government and the opening of government offices as of that date. Nanjing became the nation's capital and political center. After the Nationalist Government was established in Nanjing in 1927, the name Jinling, given to the city by the Beiyang government, was changed back to Nanjing, according to the National Interim Administrative Area Plan. Liu Jiwen was appointed mayor. On April 24, Liu announced his inauguration by telegram and held a ceremony opening city government offices and inaugurating the mayor at the old imperial examination site in the Confucius Temple neighborhood. This was the beginning of a municipal administrative system in Nanjing and the first municipal-level administrative area established in China. In 1928, the Nationalist Government hired the renowned American architect Henry K. Murphy (1877-1954) as a consultant in charge of urban design in Nanjing. He was assisted by Lu Yanzhi, who had studied in the United States while a student at Tsinghua University. By the end of 1929, the Capital Construction Commission had produced a Capital Plan, and it was officially announced by the Nationalist Government the following year. The Capital Plan was the most comprehensive urban plan for Nanjing during China's Republican era, and it laid the foundation for the development and construction of the city before the War of Resistance. Between 1928 and 1937, under the Nationalist Government's efforts and the guidance of the Capital Plan, urban construction in Nanjing made significant progress. A number of central government agency, enterprise, education, health, business, entertainment, and Republic memorial facilities were built. Renowned Republican era landmarks came into being during this time, including the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum, Zhongshan Avenue, the Central Mall, the Ministry of Railways Building, and Central Stadium. The city of Nanjing acquired a new look. ……
