Translation is a highly practical discipline that requires translators to have a broad knowledge base, as well as bilingual reading comprehension and expression skills. For this reason, reading comprehension has become the basic means of translation training. This book is designed around the fundamental training of translation skills. The book consists of 8 units, 15 lessons, and 39 articles, covering a wide range of topics such as politics, culture, science and technology, education, geography, environment, international issues, international trade, language, literature, art, health, wellness, tourism, sports, computers and the internet, etc. The "encyclopedia-like" nature of the topics is also reflected in the vocabulary. The book features new and widely applicable vocabulary, especially in the "Vocabulary" section, where words are listed and explained based on the vocabulary of the "National Translation Professional Qualification (Level) Examination Japanese Intermediate Translation Oral and Written Examination Syllabus" (Revised Edition), with additional newly added words. The grammar explanations in the book also focus on translation from the perspective of context, semantics, and pragmatics, aiming to help learners generalize and apply their knowledge. The "Exercises" section further highlights the features of the translation exam, designed according to the requirements of the "Syllabus" and the translation exam modules and sample questions it sets. These exercises help readers grasp the difficulties of the articles and identify key exam points, while also allowing them to practice reading comprehension methods and techniques. This encourages readers to read articles holistically rather than in a piecemeal manner, thereby improving their overall Japanese comprehension skills.
