Abstract
Japanese and Chinese characters “合作” are identical words, but they are not synonymous. This paper first verifies the meaning of “合作” through Japanese and Chinese dictionaries, and then clarifies the meaning and usage in Japanese based on a sample survey of Corpus and a face-to-face survey of Japanese mother speakers. Then, we will focus on the Japanese translation of Chinese “合作” and find features through the questionnaire survey of Chinese Japanese learners and Japanese Chinese learners.
