中国古代与外国交流的历史来自秦汉,后数百年未曾间断。为便于两国交流而进行翻译工作的机构,却是自明始。明初建四夷馆以进行外文翻译和培养外文翻译的人才,一直延续至清朝。四夷馆培养了一批专注于译文的学生,促进了朝廷与外界世界的联系。 The history of the exchange between ancient Chinese and foreign countries came from the Qin and Han dynasties, but it never stopped after a few hundred years. The institutions that carry out translation work to facilitate exchanges between the two countries are self-explanatory. At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the Siyi Hall was built to conduct foreign-language translation and training of foreign language translators, which continued until the Qing Dynasty. Siyi Hall has trained a group of students who focus on translation and promoted the connection between the court and the outside world.
