日本汉字源于中国文字。在汉字传入日本之前,日本只有语言没有文字。汉字传入日本以后,不仅成为日本创造文字的基础,而且被吸收到日本语言和文字中去,与日本固有的语言和文字融为一体,成为日语不可分割的组成部分。本文对汉字对日语的文字、词汇、语音、文法等方面的影响进行简要的说明。 Japanese Kanji originated from Chinese characters. Before the introduction of Chinese characters into Japan, Japan only had no language. After the introduction of Chinese characters into Japan, not only became the foundation for Japanese writing, but also absorbed into the Japanese language and writing, with Japan’s inherent language and text into one, as an integral part of Japanese. This article briefly describes the influence of Chinese characters on Japanese words, vocabulary, pronunciation, grammar and other aspects.
