Abstract

Two Eamples of dialogues between a teacher and astudent,shich are in the same situation, and show the characteristics of Chinese and Japanese very well, are given. An intransitive verb "wareru" used by the student in the Chinese dialogue shows the student's iresponsibility and a transitive verb used by the student in the Chinese dialogue shows the student's irresponsibility and a transitive, and such characters of the Japanese language and the Chinese language have to be taken into consideration when Chinese students study the Japanese language, and communicate with Japanese people.
