摘要
詹天佑是中国近代杰出的铁路工程师。自20世纪30年代起,书报刊中的詹天佑传记故事逐渐增多。这些作品描绘了詹天佑的事迹与成就,但也开始出现一些以讹传讹的内容,后者更随时间的变化而越来越多地包含“合理想象”的元素。本文以民国时期大众媒体上的詹天佑传记故事为中心,分析其中以讹传讹的内容,探究科普创作中工程师形象的塑造。及时吸收科学史研究成果,在基本事实与技术细节上追求准确,是科学史科普创作的基础,也有助于向公众传递工程师精神。
Zhan Tianyou,a distinguished railway engineer in modern China,has been the subject of numerous biographical stories in the mass media since the 1930s.These stories depict his achievements,but they also contain some misinformation,which over time has incorporated more and more elements of“reasonable imagination.”This paper focuses on these biographical stories in the mass media of the Republic of China period,analyzing the misinformation and exploring the portrayal of the engineer’s image in popular science writing.The paper argues that timely absorption of scientific history research findings and striving for accuracy in basic facts and technical details are essential for accurate popular science writing about the history of science and technology,and that this is also conducive to conveying the spirit of engineers to the public.
