Abstract

Abstract:

Joseon interpreters in the Qing Empire were chosen from Korean bannermen and their descendants, who took the initiative to join the Qing Empire or were captured by Qing armies during war. They were a group of “transfrontiersmen” who were able to greatly influence the Qing-Joseon relationship. They maintained extensive interpersonal relationships in Korea and especially kept a good relationship with the Korean interpreters at the Bureau of Interpreters. Joseon interpreters in the early Qing even had family members in Korea. Joseon interpreters were Koreans by ethnicity but were significantly Manchurized, so they maintained a dual identity of both Koreans and Qing bannermen at least until the Qinglong era. The Joseon court was also well aware of this. It always utilized the Joseon interpreters’ interpersonal relationships and identity to gather Qing intelligence and request their assistance in various matters. Still, it could never fully trust these “Koreans” who were serving another country, especially when confidential matters were involved.

清帝国朝鲜翻译的身份
摘要:在清帝国的朝鲜翻译是从主动加入清帝国或在战争中被清军俘虏的朝鲜封臣及其后代中挑选出来的。他们是一群 "越境者",能够极大地影响清朝与朝鲜的关系。他们在朝鲜保持着广泛的人际关系,尤其与翻译局的朝鲜翻译保持着良好的关系。清初的朝鲜口译员甚至在朝鲜有家人。朝鲜翻译虽然是朝鲜人,但满洲化程度很高,因此至少在青龙时代之前,他们一直保持着朝鲜人和清朝封臣的双重身份。朝鲜朝廷也很清楚这一点。朝鲜朝廷总是利用朝鲜翻译的人际关系和身份来收集清朝的情报,并请求他们协助处理各种事务。不过,朝鲜朝廷始终无法完全信任这些为他国服务的 "朝鲜人",尤其是在涉及机密事务时。
