莫理循是一个“具有最佳英国殖民者特征”的人。在就任袁世凯政治顾问之前，他是英国扶植袁世凯上台、绞杀中国革命的帮凶；就任顾问之后，拼死维护袁世凯的反动统治和英国在华优势地位，力图把中国的发展纳入英国殖民者所设下的轨道。他决不是“一个深爱中国的人”。 Morrison is one who “has the best British colonial character.” Before assuming his position as political adviser to Yuan Shikai, he was the accomplice of Britain in proposing Yuan Shikai to take power and strangle the Chinese revolution. After assuming the post of adviser, he desperately upheld Yuan Shikai’s reactionary rule and British superiority in China and sought to bring China’s development into the ranks of British colonialists track. He is by no means “a man who loves China.”
