摘要:: 日本幕末长崎的唐通事是一群锐意进取、才华横溢的优秀华人后裔。他们高瞻远瞩，与时俱进，率先学习英语，在日本外交等领域发挥了聪明才智。幕末至明治初期，他们主要充任翻译官和书记官，尤其在此段中日外交关系史上留下了很深的印迹。他们作为中华文化的传承者，虽然做了一些有益的事情，但在这特殊的历史年代，多数情况下不知不觉成为日本军国主义的帮凶。

Abstract:: The Tang Dynasty Chinese translators in Nagasaki, Japan in the late Shogunate period were a group of enterprising, talented and outstanding Chinese descendants. They had great foresight and advanced with the times to be the first to learn English so as to give full play of their intelligence in Japanese diplomacy and other fields. They mainly acted as translators and clerks in the late Shogunate period and early Meiji period and left a deep imprint in the history of Sino-Japanese diplomatic relations. As inheritors of Chinese culture, even though they had done something beneficial, they still unwittingly became accomplices of Japanese militarism in most cases in that particular historical era.
