Features: This textbook is divided into 15 units, each consisting of three parts: "Text," "Translation Key Points and Techniques," and "Exercises." Based on general linguistic rules, we first categorize the text into two major types: "Narrative" and "Dialogue." The Narrative section includes 10 units: "Argumentative Essays," "Political Essays," "Economic Essays," "News Reports," "Official Documents," "Speeches," "Descriptive Scenario Articles," "Nostalgic Articles," "Teasing Tone Articles," and "Inferential Tone Articles." The Dialogue section comprises five units: "Dialogue between Men," "Dialogue between Brothers," "Dialogue between Lovers," "Dialogue between Mother and Child," and "Dialogue between Women," forming a concise and coherent system.
Each "Text" includes one Japanese-to-Chinese and one Chinese-to-Japanese translation, with some units featuring multiple short passages based on their specific characteristics. After each text, there is an "Explanation of Sentences and Phrases" accompanied by a "Reference Translation." These texts are composed of practical language materials, with none artificially created—making it a meticulously compiled and comprehensive textbook for translation practice.
In the "Translation Key Points and Techniques" section, relevant summaries and related translation techniques are provided for each unit. The subsequent "Exercises" also feature carefully selected language materials to help students practice targetedly. Each exercise is followed by a "Reference Translation," offering valuable guidance for self-assessment.
