试论中国五四世界语运动

中国世界语运动从发轫到“五四”获得了迅速的发展,五四时期尤为显著,但未遂五四先驱们所愿的成功。究其发展的原因:一是合乎当时社会需要;二是世界语本身的优点;三是其顺乎人类共同理想。而其受挫的原因:一是汉字存在的合理性,改行世界语不现实;二是其传播时间不长,人们对之了解不深;三是世界语运动者目标不一致。

On the May Fourth Esperanto Movement of China

From the beginning to May Fourth Movement, especially in May Fourth Movement era, the Esperanto movement in China developed rapidly, but didn' t attain the goal of the May Fourth Movement pioneers. There are three reasons for its success: the requirement of that society, the merits of Esperanto, and the good for the common ideal of human being. Also, there are three reasons for the failure: The first is the reasonable existence of Chinese character and it is impossible for Esperanto to substitute Chinese character; the second is not long time of Esperanto in China and Chinese don't know it well; the third is no coincidence of the aim of Esperanto people.
