摘要

查尔斯·达尔文（Charles Darwin）的《自然选择的物种起源，或在生命斗争中保护最喜爱的种族》（1859）一书的起源是众所周知的，它在随后的版本中所经历的变化也有很好的记录。然而，关于其原始标题的起源以及随后经历的七次修改，人们所知或发表的信息较少。最初的标题比《起源：自然选择》之前未完成的大型《物种书》的标题长得多。为什么达尔文在《起源》中使用了这个优雅而简短的标题的扩展版本？后来修改的理由是什么？与人们经常声称或暗示的相反，对他的出版商约翰·默里的批评并不是后一个问题的唯一答案，当然也不是全部答案。

On The Origin of Species: The story of Darwin's title

The genesis of Charles Darwin's book On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, or the Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life (1859) is well known, and the changes that it underwent in subsequent editions are well documented. However, less is known or has been published about the genesis of its original title and about the seven modifications that it subsequently underwent. That original title was much longer than the title of the unfinished big ‘Species Book’ that preceded and inspired The Origin: Natural Selection. Why did Darwin use an extended version of this elegant, short title for The Origin? And what was the rationale behind the later modifications? Contrary to what is often claimed or implied, the criticism of his publisher, John Murray, does not offer the only and certainly not the full answer to the latter question.
