“史诗”作为文学术语，词源可追溯至古希腊，经由拉丁语转写进入西方世界。一批19世纪初的来华传教士，为促进东西文化“交流”，积极编写英华、华英字（辞）典。其中便有德籍传教士罗存德的《英华字典》，该字典首次将英文 epic poem 翻译为“史诗”。该书在香港出版，对当时的中国学界没有产生较大影响，却在日本传播开来。译词“史诗”漂洋过海，被日本学界接受后，又被留日学人带回中国。通过梳理“史诗”的语源、近代译词产生的背景以及东渡日本和回流汉语学界的“侨易”情况，可以看出一个词汇的诞生、外译、演变，无不体现特殊的文化语境和时代特征。厘清“史诗”概念的发生史，是考察中西、中日文化交流史的一个有益窗口，观念侨易的意义也在于此。

As a particular term in literature,the etymology of Shishi dates back to Greece in the 7th ~6th century B.C. Then it entered into the west world through the transfer in Latin.At the beginning of the nineteenth century,a batch of missionaries had been very keen on editing the English-Chinese and Chinese-English dictionaries in order to promote the cultural exchange between China and the west countries.Among them,there is The English and Chinese Dictionary which was edited by Whilhelm Lobscheid whose nationality is Germany.He translated the word epic poem into Shishi for the first time.The dictionary was printed in Hong Kong,and then spread in Japan though it did not produce any effect on Chinese learning sphere.Shishi was accepted by Japanese educational circles and brought back to China by those people studied in Japan across the seas.The article sorts out the etymology of Shishi and the background in Chinese modern his-tory as well as its Kiao-Iology phenomenon,tries to show that the birth,translation and transform of a word all reflect particular cultural context and of feature of the times.It is so important to clarify the history of Shishi's concept,which can offer the route of the cultural interchange between China and west,or China and Japan in some period.Perhaps,Ki-ao-Iology's ideas just stay here.
