Features: Incorporated into the National Vocational Qualification System, targeting the public. Holders of the certificate can be appointed to corresponding positions according to their level. After the unified certification exam is implemented, translation professional qualification evaluations will no longer be conducted nationwide. "Practical Japanese Interpretation" is the designated Japanese training textbook for the national interpretation certification exam, organized and compiled by the China Foreign Languages Press and Publishing Corporation after the Ministry of Personnel introduced the "National Translation Professional Qualification (Level) Examination." Based on the characteristics of interpretation teaching, the requirements of the interpretation profession, and the interpretation examination syllabus of the "National Translation Professional Qualification (Level) Examination," "Practical Japanese Interpretation" adopts a new format, making the teaching content of interpretation more comprehensive, the teaching arrangement more scientific, and the teaching methods more diverse. "Practical Japanese Interpretation" is structured into 16 units, with each unit's theme and supplementary exercises centered around a specific topic. The selected materials are realistic and cover common content in interpretation work, including topics such as "Current Affairs and Politics," "China-Japan Relations," "Business Activities," "Science and Technology," "News Media," "Information Age," "Culture and Education," "Environmental Protection," "Etiquette and Toasts," "Tourism and Sightseeing," "Performing Arts," "Sports," "Health and Wellness," "Daily Life," and "Entertainment and Leisure."
The authors of "Practical Japanese Interpretation" adhere to the concept that interpretation teaching should be bidirectional. Each unit's teaching projects include both Chinese-to-Japanese and Japanese-to-Chinese forms, following the principle of combining "dialogues," "short sentences," "paragraphs," "passages," and "vocabulary." This allows teachers to organize a variety of teaching activities. In terms of layout, the main lesson section includes both "dialogues" and "passages," accompanied by "interpretation commentary," which focuses on explaining interpretation difficulties and occasionally introduces background knowledge related to the content. The "Interpretation Practice" section includes "short sentences," "paragraphs," and "passages," with additional "listening and note-taking" exercises to enhance listening comprehension and note-taking skills. As a classic feature of interpretation textbooks, the "Extended Vocabulary" section compiles selected vocabulary and sentences related to the themes.
