摘要
清末民初,严复与日本首相伊藤博文是留英同学的传闻开始出现,其内容和细节在流传中愈益翔实。1990年代严复一些未刊书信面世,在《致梁启超》一函中,严自称留英期间与伊藤博文同窗数载,回国后的待遇、命运则大相径庭。尽管该函两个标点本的识读有一定差异①,但考查这一时期严、梁的言行、交往、境遇,其内容有真实性,不能简单认定为伪,何况传闻的出现时间远早于此函。依据传播学原理判断,“同学说”的始作俑者可能就是严复本人。
The statement that Yan Fu and Japanese Prime Minister ho Hirobumi were classmates in Britain appeared in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, and went into details in its spreading. In his letter to Liang Qichao, published in the 1990s, Yan wore that he and ho Hirobumi had studied together in Britain for several years, but their treatments and lots were entirely different while they went back home. Judging from Yan and Liang＇s association and circumstances in this period, we cannot simply say that this letter is false, although its two punctuated versions differ greatly. On the basis of the principle of medium, we can say that probably Yan Fu himself was the man who first made such astatement.
