摘要: 本文通过对《新中国未来记》(1902)的细读,分析其中正文与批注之间的时态对话关系,以说明作品既非单纯地叙述“未来”,亦非仅仅评论“现在”,而是在两者之间往复运动,由此构成其根本性的叙事特征。此外,通过考察其中此前未被关注过的多处时间错误,来讨论梁启超在试图穿行中西纪元、现在与未来时的困难,并对这一作品在中国近代文学史上的位置和意义做出评价。

Abstract: Through a close reading of The Future of New China by Liang Qichao's (1873-1929), an important novel published in 1902, the paper analyzes the way Liang narrates time, which is revealed in the dialogue relationship between the text and its annotations. It argues that the novel is neither a pure narration of the future, nor a mere review of the present, but a constant movement between the two. This fundamental narrative feature of the novel explains why the author made many mistakes, unnoticed in existing scholarship, when dealing with the conversion between the Gregorian calendar and the Chinese calendar, as well as with the transition between the present and the future.

Key words: Liang Qichao, The Future of New China, future, New Fiction
