The differences in expressive styles between Chinese and Japanese present challenges in achieving accurate and nuanced translation between the two languages. Relying solely on conventional translation techniques often fails to fully convey the intended meaning. By skillfully leveraging the structural and stylistic differences between Chinese and Japanese, translations can avoid excessive verbosity and unnatural phrasing, resulting in more fluent and precise renditions. This paper synthesizes prior studies on Chinese-to-Japanese translation and focuses on exploring the structural and expressive characteristics of the two languages. Using examples from textbooks, it examines the translation of Chinese complement constructions and the correspondence between Japanese thematic sentences, objective descriptive sentences, and their counterparts in Chinese. The study concludes by identifying unresolved issues in Chinese-to-Japanese translation that merit further investigation.
