Features: This book is a newly released, compact Japanese-Chinese dictionary written for beginners. It was meticulously compiled through the collaborative efforts of the authors over several years and multiple revisions. The key features of this book can be summarized as follows.
1. The book is written from the perspective of beginners, fully considering the characteristics of Chinese learners of Japanese. It strives to select appropriate words, provide accurate definitions, offer relevant examples, and facilitate easy use for readers.
2. The book includes over 18,000 commonly used Japanese words, plus derivative words listed under main entries, totaling approximately 25,000 entries.
3. The compilation of this dictionary referenced vocabulary lists from various curricula published domestically, including middle schools, universities, adult education, crash courses, and the Japanese Language Proficiency Test (JLPT). Words included in two curricula are marked with a single asterisk, while words included in only one curriculum or self-selected words are not marked. Thus, this dictionary can be used as a vocabulary reference for students of all levels and types of schools. It can also serve as a reference for teachers when compiling teaching materials or creating test questions.
4. The definitions in this book have been carefully refined to accurately convey the original meaning, with Chinese text written in clear, fluent, and standardized language.
5. The example sentences in the book are carefully chosen to closely match the definitions of the words. The selection of examples primarily focuses on grammatical words, derivational words, and difficult-to-use verbs, nouns, and adverbs. Additionally, all concrete words in the book are annotated with pitch accents, and Japanese kanji in example sentences are annotated with phonetic transcriptions.
