从美国国会图书馆藏“欧文．拉铁摩尔手稿”看中国抗日战争及战时中美关系
The Anti-Japanese War and Sino-U.S. Relation during World War Ⅱ: A Survey of Owen Lattimore Papers at the Library of Congress
摘要
存藏于美国国会图书馆手稿部的“欧文．拉铁摩尔手稿（1907-1997）”含有涉及中国抗日战争和第二次世界大战时期中美关系的各类文献。这批原始资料为该领域的学术研究提供了重要线索。本文旨在简要介绍“拉铁摩尔手稿”，同时考察拉铁摩尔在中国抗战时期的作用和影响。作为探险家、学者和美国亚洲研究的顶级专家之一，拉铁摩尔在中国生活、工作了相当长的一段时间。他的战时履历与活动对我们了解当时的历史至关重要：拉氏在1934至1941年期间曾任《太平洋事务》的主编；1937年访问延安；1941至1942年，受罗斯福总统任命，担任蒋介石的顾问；1944年陪同美国副总统亨利．华莱士访华；1942至1945年，任职于美国战争情报局太平洋分部。尽管拉氏战时角色迥异，但他一直坚守、实践援华抗日的理念，对美国亚洲政策性辩论做出了重要贡献。

The Owen Lattimore Papers (1907-1997) in the Manuscript Division of the Library of Congress contains various kinds of documents related to the Anti-Japanese War of 1937-1945 and the Sino-U.S. relation in the Second World War. This collection provides invaluable primary materials for academic research in this field. The article aims to survey the unique collection while examining the role and influence of Owen Lattimore (1900-1989) in the Anti-Japanese War of 1937-1945. As an explorer, a scholar and one of American top experts on Asia, Lattimore had spent a substantial amount of time in China. His wartime activities are essential for us to understand the history at that time, the most important of which include his editorship at Pacific Affairs from 1934 to 1941; his visit to the Communist headquarters at Yan'an in 1937; his appointment by President Franklin Roosevelt as an advisor to Chinese Nationalist leader Chiang Kai-shek from 1941 to 1942; the China mission with U.S. Vice-President Henry Wallace in 1944; and his work at Pacific Operations in the United States Office of War Information Overseas Operations Branch from 1942 to 1945. In all of this, Lattimore had always insisted on aiding China against Japan. Moreover, he contributed extensively to the public debate on U.S. policies in Asia.
