华英通语

《华英通语》是一部以英语、华语、日语及粤语等语言材料相互对照为特征的实用语言学习书。OCR题名页显示作者为 Fukuzawa, Yukichi，题名罗马字作“Zötei Ka-Ei tsūgo”，出版地作“[S.l.]”，出版年作“[1860]”，并附有藏书号“L.jap. A 75”及数字化标识“urn:nbn:de:bvb:12-bsb11130283-2”。从这些信息看，本书应为近代早期英华日语通语、会话或商业语言手册的增订本，1860年前后刊行或整理。

本次提取前20页，内容虽不完整，但已可见其编纂旨趣与使用场景。页面中大量出现货品、价格、账簿和商贸术语，例如“取十=枝 洋枝燭 取12 Chandelions 1,00”“取一個酒 壹 互仙 取1 Wine jug 00,50”“十九個玻璃鏘 取19 Decanters 1,53”“一把椰衣掃 三十五”“取三枝燈 財員 五仙”“一箇漏壳 取1 Drainer 00,75”等，说明本书直接服务于通商贸易中的英语记账、购物、议价和货物清点。书中还出现“梁興 To Leong Hing”“何瑞記 Ho Soey He”等商号或人名，以及“桶 2 Keg of flour”“一 bar of oil”“三 Bags of rice”“一 Chest tea”等货物记录，反映出当时口岸贸易、海外经商和日常账目管理的语言需求。

账簿部分尤为明显。OCR中有“September”“October”“August”及中文“九月”“十月”“八月”的对照，又有“Account for February 1855.”“Account for January 18.55.”“一千八百五十五年之數”“壹仟捌佰伍拾伍歲之數”等字样，并附表格，列有“日期 Date”“數位数”“員數數位”“共計Total”等项目，涉及“員”“先”“仙”等货币单位。这说明本书不仅教单词，也教如何看账、记账、写账单、核对收支，具有强烈的实用教科书性质。

会话材料同样丰富。前20页可见大量中英对照句，如“I dollar is...”“How has been arrested...”“No new law was made yesterday.”“This is father set him up in business.”“I shall go whether you do or not.”“Will you make me a bill sin?”“There shall I find him?”“Have you any work for me sir.”“How do you say that in English.”“Have you more of this article?”“Do you want anything else?”“How much do you run me”“How many did you borrow from”“Well then, how much will you give?”“If they be good all buy them.”“Bring your cargo and let me see.”“Are you very sure of it?”“What is this good for?”“That is a first rate one.”“You can't give it much.”“His trail takes place to day.”“How long have you been sick?”“The doctor has given me over.”“He said that he could not cure.”“Opium does not sell very well now.”“Nutmegs are in great demand.”等。这些句子涉及购物、借贷、雇工、诉讼、疾病、鸦片、豆蔻等话题，并配有汉字注音、粤语表达及日文假名材料，显示出多语对照和口语训练的特点。

此外，书中还有“類句長”部分，收“This is just like the other.”“I should rather have the other.”“This gun loaded?”“This money does not plays here.”“Do you remember how it was?”“Which of these is the best to take.”“No matter which you take.”等句型，以及“春眠不覺曉，處處聞啼鳥，夜來風雨聲，花落知多少”“今宵酒醒何處”等诗句表格，可能用于阅读、书写或语言综合练习。整体而言，本书是研究19世纪中叶英华日语接触、商贸语言、粤语注音、账簿文体及福泽谕吉早期语言教育实践的重要材料。本次仅见前20页，后续内容待补。
