晚清时期，海关总税务司赫德（Robert Hart）在京师同文馆中扮演了重要的赞助人角色。赫德于1863年起担任中国海关总税务司，在任近五十年之久。期间，赫德积极参与了京师同文馆的各项活动，不仅保证了同文馆的经费开销，还操纵了同文馆的管理和发展，包括聘请教习、 设立翻译处、策划出国游历等。本文将根据勒菲弗尔对翻译赞助人的理论，总结赫德在同文馆中的角色和其影响。本文将归纳促使赫德成为同文馆赞助人的重要因素，然后通过列举赫德在同文馆中的具体工作，证明赫德履行了赞助人的职责，并且影响到了同文馆的意识形态、经济、地位这三方面。 In the late Qing dynasty, Sir Robert Hart played a crucial role of a patron in the Tungwen College. Hart served as Inspector General of Imperial Customs since 1863. During the nearly five decades of his duty, he was highly involved with the Tungwen College. His main contribution was to provide financial support for the college. He was also involved in the management and development of the college, where he was responsible of hiring instructors, setting up translation department and also planning of overseas trips. This paper will employ Lefevere’s theory on the role of a patron in translation, where Hart’s role and influence as a patron to the college will be further discussed. This paper will firstly summarize the important factors that lead to Hart becoming the patron of Tungwen College. Next, based on the actual works that he had done for the college, the paper will prove that he had indeed fulfilled the duties of a patron, affecting ideology, economic and status aspects of the college.
