摘要
台湾独特的地理环境孕育了其独特的地物风貌。随着十九世纪中后叶西方人前往台湾,这个岛屿的美丽逐渐展现在世人的面前。西方人不仅从地质学角度对台湾的形成给予了合理的解释,而且对澎湖及台湾本岛均进行了细致的考察并一一记录,这些记录不同于普通记录,具有明显的特点。一方面,这是十九世纪客观实证主义的体现,另一方面,这也是殖民主义在远东地区的典型体现。当时的西方人意图通过对台湾的详尽考察,将其纳入包括贸易体系、外交体系、文化体系等在内的全球体系中,是西方"话语权"在台建构的重要步骤。籍由近代西方人对台湾地物风貌的考察与记录,台湾作为一个东方文化符号完整地呈现在西方面前,为西方势力在台湾的持续扩张打下了必要的基础。
Taiwan′s unique geographical environment has bred its unique features. With the arrival of Westerners at Taiwan in the middle and late 19 th century, the beauty of the island gradually unfolded in front of the world. The Westerners not only gave a reasonable explanation to the formation of Taiwan from the geological point of view, but also made a careful investigation and record of Penghu Islands and Taiwan one by one. This kind of record is different from the ordinary record and has obvious characteristics. On the one hand, it is the embodiment of objective positivism in the nineteenth century. On the other hand, it is also a typical manifestation of colonialism in the Far East. The Westerners at that time intended to integrate Taiwan into the global system, including the trade system, diplomatic system, cultural system and so on, through a detailed study of Taiwan, which was an important step in the construction of Western′s "right of interpretation"in Taiwan. The modern Westerners go through the investigation and record of the landforms and features of Taiwan, taking it as an oriental cultural symbol, presents itself in front of the West, laying a necessary foundation for the continued expansion of Western forces in Taiwan.
