Features: This Japanese-Chinese Dictionary is newly released by the prestigious Japanese publishing house "Sanseido." It was meticulously compiled over years of effort by three Japanese scholars. The dictionary is rich in content, accurate, and features numerous relevant example sentences, making it an authoritative reference for the Japanese Language Proficiency Test (JLPT). It covers all test vocabulary and adopts an innovative and user-friendly editing approach, prioritizing the reader's needs, making it highly practical and widely popular, with continuously rising sales.
Given this, we have obtained the copyright from Japan and dedicated this book to our carefully selected readers. The dictionary has four key features:
First, it is authentically "Japanese-oriented," meticulously compiling and listing specialized vocabulary unique to Japanese culture (including the Japanese language), politics, economy, and society. This greatly aids in deeply understanding the essence of Japanese and solidly improving your proficiency.
Second, it includes over 30,000 entries (including loanwords), more than 20,000 example sentences, and a vast number of derivatives and compound words. Additionally, both entries and short sentences are accompanied by Pinyin romanization, making the dictionary exceptionally practical, easy to search, and convenient for memorization and mastery.
Third, the definitions are detailed and comprehensive. For example, under the entry for "" (spirit), over 60 related terms are listed—such as (awake), き (fond of), (regretful), and (boring)—demonstrating the compilers' painstaking efforts to help readers generalize and expand their knowledge.
Fourth, and importantly, the compilers categorize and highlight common and frequently used vocabulary in boxes, totaling over 20 categories. These range from plants (over 100 types) to games (e.g., top spinning, jump rope, Rubik's cube), from professions (over 60 types) to fruits (e.g., loquat, kumquat), from insects (over 40 types) to food (e.g., braised pork belly, white cut chicken, potstickers), from body parts (e.g., anklebone, armpit hair) to diseases (over 110 types). Everything is covered, including animals, birds, sports, greetings, sounds, and gemstones. This not only aids in searching and memorization but also provides specialized knowledge—such as distinguishing between plants and vegetables, or separating beverages from food—truly showcasing the compilers' ingenuity and dedication.
This dictionary is the sister volume to the Japanese-Chinese Mini Dictionary, complementing and enhancing each other. The former is an inevitable evolution of the latter. Aspiring Japanese learners are encouraged to purchase both and place them on their desks, where they will appreciate the intrinsic connection between them through reading.
The Japanese-Chinese Dictionary intentionally uses a smaller font size and a compact format, making it portable and easy to consult anytime. Additionally, its lower price reflects our heartfelt appreciation for the readers. In terms of Chinese terminology, we have retained most of the original Japanese expressions to respect the compilers, with only over 100 minor adjustments. We would like to clarify this and welcome feedback from all readers.
