Features: This book is composed of numerous vivid examples and serves as both a reference tool and a teaching aid. It is a dictionary, as well as a sentence dictionary. It helps a wide range of German language workers and learners solve potential issues when translating Chinese function words into German. This book is a reference tool and a teaching aid. The author's intention is to assist China's German language workers, German majors' teachers and students, as well as anyone interested in German, in addressing problems they may encounter in the translation of Chinese function words into German and in teaching. For native German speakers who are learning Chinese or have some interest in Chinese, this book is also a useful reference. Additionally, from the perspective of foreign language learning, based on the author's experience, memorizing words and their collocations is undoubtedly essential, but learning through sentences with a certain context and logical coherence is particularly reliable and effective. In foreign language learning, no one can deny the importance of dictionaries, but if someone were to compile a practical "sentence dictionary," its effectiveness might not be inferior to that of a dictionary. Because only in sentences can a word or phrase reveal its function and power, and only in sentences can the problem of literal translation be overcome. This book is mainly composed of numerous examples, and it is also an attempt in this regard. To express a complete idea, a sentence naturally contains various other words and phrases besides function words, so while this book attempts to systematically address the translation of Chinese function words, it inevitably involves a wide range of Chinese-to-German and even Chinese-German translations. Therefore, this book also holds some reference value for those engaged in general Chinese-German translation or related teaching work.
