吴经熊在民国时期不但是著名的法学家，而且也是享有声誉的文学家。他既参与创办英文期刊，发表大量中国古典诗歌的英译作品，同时也热衷于写作汉语旧体诗。本文通过梳理英文期刊的资料，还原当时文学氛围的疏离与语言环境的分裂，考察吴经熊向英语世界译介中国古典诗歌的策略与动机；并可得出结论，他的双语实践不仅以“唐诗四季”诗学观念回应“感时忧国”的抒情传统，而且主张以诗歌重塑中国人的民族心灵，期待可以克服现代性危机，超越东西方文化的权力等级。%In the Republic of China , John Ching Hsiung Wu ( John C.H.Wu) was not only a famous ju-rist, but also a renowned writer .He took part in establishing the English periodicals and translated a large number of Chinese classical poems into English .At the same time , he was keen on writing classical poems .
