  ABSTRACT: The American textbook Science Primers: Physics was translated into Chinese in the late Qing Dynasty and it had two Chinese translations. One is Gezhi Qimeng: Gewu Xue translated jointly by Young John Allen and Zheng Changyan, and the other is Xixue Qimeng Shiliu Zhong: Gezhi Zhixue Qimeng rendered by Joseph Edkins. The paratext provides information about background, purpose and process of translation, and reflects translator’s motivation and translation style, which is a significant basis for comprehending of the translation, publication and acceptance of the Chinese translations of Science Primers: Physics.
