洋务运动的先行者们为了培养翻译和外交人才,举办了许多以培养学生英语能力为主的新式学堂。洋务英语教育课程设置以英语语言为基础,以培养学生的翻译能力为目标,教学中注重翻译实践,注重考试和考核,为晚清政府培养了许多翻译和外交人才。 In order to train translators and diplomats, the forerunners of the Westernization Movement held many new-style schools focusing on cultivating students’ English proficiency. On the basis of English language, the setting up of the foreign language education curriculum in Yangwu is aimed at cultivating the students’ ability to translate. The teaching focuses on translation practice, examination and assessment, and has trained many translators and diplomatic talents for the government in the late Qing Dynasty.
