易混淆的单词： Hiragana

Japanese has 3 main writing systems : hiragana , katakana and kanji .

日文有3种主要的书写系统：平假名，片假名和汉字。

Hiragana and katakana put together are known collectively as the " kana " .

平假名和片假名和在一起叫假名。

Unlike our roman characters , each character , whether hiragana , katakana , or kanji , is square and of identical size .

不象罗马字符，每个字符，无论平假名，片假名抑或都是方正的并且大小相同的。

Many campaign posters for japan 's general election on august 30th print the candidate 's name in hiragana , a rudimentary , phonetic script first taught to children , rather than the kanji .

八月30日，许多日本大选参与人员用平假名印出竞选者的姓名，一种最初用来教儿童的最为基本的拼音字体，而不是正规的汉字。

Chinese pictograms were , for example , dismantled to form two entirely new alphabets , hiragana and katakana , while a new set of japanese readings was imposed on the original chinese characters .

例如，中国的象形字被分拆成两种全新的字母：平假名和片假名，而中国汉字也被赋予了新的日本发音。
