“他者”是后殖民理论中的重要术语，是殖民者对被殖民者的一种主观表述。在殖民心态的影响下，“他者”理论成为殖民者进行殖民扩张和掠夺的理论依据。本文以库克船长太平洋航行所留下的资料为基础，探讨库克在对当地原住民进行观察以及与之交流时，对太平洋地区的原住民作为“他者”形象是如何描述的，揭示早期殖民者塑造的“他者”形象的特点以及“他者”理论的演变规律。
“The other” is an important term in postcolonial theory，and a subjective expression of the colonizer to the colonized. Under the influence of colonial mentality，“the other” theory became the theoretical basis for colonial expansion and plunder. Based on the data left by Captain Cook during his voyage in the Pacific Ocean，this paper discusses how Cook described the aboriginal people in the Pacific region as the “other” image when he observed and communicated with the local aborigines，revealing the characteristics of the “other” image of the early colonists and the evolution of the “other” theory.
