【摘要】新教华文教会学校的编译活动作为西学东渐序幕的重要组成部分，引领了中国近代翻译事业高潮，在客观上成就了中国第一批具备较系统西学知识的知识分子，以及一个具有良好外文修养的编译人才群体。其编译活动在带来西方的教育制度、引进先进的机械设备、革新出版理念的同时，也是跨文化传播的最初实践者，第一次系统搭起了中西文化交流的桥梁，并通过创造性的出版活动直接催生了中国近代出版业。另外，西书汉译不仅丰富了中国的文化体系，也给19世纪先进的中国人提供“放眼看世界”的资料来源，使其受到西方近代思想的洗礼，逐渐接受基督教文明、近代科学观念以及民主制度理念，从而开始用新的思维方式思考探索救国之路；汉文西译为西方人打开了一个一窥中华帝国真颜的窗口，某种程度上重构西方人眼中的中国形象，客观上为弘扬中华文化作出了重大贡献。
