N4 Vocabulary · Test 61

The sentence means 'Translate foreign-language books into Japanese.' ほんやく (翻訳) means 'translation,' and ほんやくする means 'to translate.' This fits the pattern 日本語に翻訳する ('translate into Japanese').

• 1あんない (案内) means 'guidance/guide.' You do not '案内する' a book into Japanese.
• 2えんりょ (遠慮) means 'hesitation/restraint.' This is unrelated to translating.
• 3はんたい (反対) means 'opposition.' This does not fit the context of converting a book into Japanese.

• 翻訳ほんやく — translation (written)
• 案内あんない — guidance, guide
• 遠慮えんりょ — hesitation, restraint
• 反対はんたい — opposition, against

たしかに（確かに）means 'certainly / surely.' The sentence means 'The car keys were certainly here yesterday.' This fits naturally — the speaker is confirming that the keys were in this spot yesterday.

• 1きゅうに（突然に）means 'suddenly.' It doesn't fit — you wouldn't say the keys were 'suddenly' here.
• 2じゆうに（自由に）means 'freely.' Keys can't be 'freely' somewhere; this is grammatically and semantically odd.
• 4じょうぶに（丈夫に）means 'sturdily / durably.' This describes physical strength of objects, not location, so it doesn't fit.

• たしかに — certainly, surely
• きゅうに — suddenly
• じゆうに — freely
• じょうぶに — sturdily, durably

パソコン (personal computer) is counted with the counter だい（台）, which is used for machines and equipment. 'あたらしいパソコンを2だいかいました' = 'I bought two new personal computers.' 2だい（2台）is the correct counter for computers.

• 1オーバー (overcoat) is clothing, counted with まい（枚）or ちょう（丁）, not だい.
• 2ガソリン (gasoline) is a liquid, measured in リットル (liters), not counted with だい.
• 3ステーキ (steak) is food, counted with こ（個）or other food counters, not だい.

• パソコン — personal computer
• オーバー — overcoat
• ガソリン — gasoline
• ステーキ — steak
• だい — counter for machines/equipment

体 is read からだ (karada), meaning 'body.' The sentence means 'I did sports and both my head and my body feel refreshed.' Option 4 (からだ) is the correct reading.

• 1からた is not a valid reading for 体. This appears to be a distractor using the wrong second kana (た instead of だ).
• 2かだら is not a valid reading for 体. The kana are scrambled/wrong.
• 3からた is identical to option 1 and is not a valid reading for 体.

• 体からだ — body

世界 is read せかい (sekai), meaning 'world.' The sentence means 'I don't know much about world history, so I want to study more.' Option 3 (せかい) is the correct reading.

• 1せか is not a complete reading for 世界; it is missing the second kanji's reading (界 = かい).
• 2せいか is not a valid reading for 世界. This distractor inserts an extra い and drops the final い of かい.
• 4せいかい is not a valid reading for 世界. This distractor adds an extra い after せ, making it look like 正解 (せいかい, 'correct answer'), a near-homophone.

• 世界せかい — world

知らない is read しらない (shiranai), the negative form of 知る (しる, 'to know'). The sentence means 'I don't know much about world history, so I want to study more.' Option 1 (しらない) is the correct reading.

• 2ちらない is not a valid reading. The verb 知る is read しる, not ちる. This distractor uses the wrong initial consonant.
• 3きまらない is the negative form of 決まる (きまる, 'to be decided'), which is a completely different word and does not fit the kanji 知らない.
• 4わからない is the negative form of 分かる (わかる, 'to understand'), a near-synonym of 知る, but it does not match the kanji 知らない. The reading must correspond to the kanji given.

• 知しる — to know
• 知しらない — do not know

勉強 is read べんきょう (benkyō), meaning 'study.' The sentence means 'I don't know much about world history, so I want to study more.' Option 4 (べんきょう) is the correct reading, with the long vowel お (ou) in 強 (きょう).

• 1べんきゆ is not a valid reading for 勉強. The kana for 強 are wrong (きゆ instead of きょう).
• 2べんきよ is not a valid reading for 勉強. It is missing the long vowel mark (う) after よ, making it too short.
• 3べんきゅう is not a valid reading for 勉強. This distractor uses きゅう instead of きょう, swapping the small よ for a small ゆ.

• 勉強べんきょう — study
