Brief Comment on "English-Japanese-Chinese Packaging Dictionary"

The "English, Japanese and Chinese Packaging Dictionary" (Hardcover), co-edited by China Packaging Technology Association and Japan Daily, has been published by China Economic Publishing House. This is a big event for packaging workers to celebrate. The publication of this dictionary has practical significance and guiding role whether it is the integration of China's packaging industry with the world, or more understanding of the world's packaging in China. It undoubtedly fills a gap in the current unification of the terminology of the packaging industry.
Along with the process of China’s reform and opening up, the development of the Chinese packaging industry has made remarkable achievements. The output of certain packaging products in China, such as plastic woven bags, paper drums, composite flexible packaging, metal barrels, etc., has already ranked among the top in the world and has achieved partial exports. However, compared with developed countries, there are still gaps in terms of raw materials, products, equipment, and scientific research and development capabilities. It is urgent for the majority of packaging workers to catch up. In order to effectively conduct international information and technology exchanges and promote the development of the packaging industry, experts and scholars in the Chinese and foreign packaging industry spend four years of time and energy, collect and sort out the vast information, and filter out commonly used packaging industries. With nearly 30,000 entries in its related fields, it translates its entries into two languages: Japanese and English, and compiles them into a book. It has become the first professional dictionary of packaging technology consisting of English, Japanese, and Chinese characters.
The dictionary has a large amount of information and covers a wide range of areas. Its main contents include: professional terms such as packaging materials, packaging containers, packaging machinery, packaging design, packaging testing, packaging, printing, and packaging. It not only helps packaging professionals understand the exact meaning of packaging terms, but also provides translation translation and interpreting workers with reference to translation in three languages. Therefore, the publication of this dictionary has made a very meaningful event for the packaging workers at home and abroad.
The packaging industry is a marginal and comprehensive discipline. Therefore, the past professional tool books are single professional reference books, such as packaging materials, packaging machinery, etc., so that there is no comprehensive coverage of the professionalism of the packaging industry. The book is inconvenient for the learner, the user, or unable to find it, and the dictionary is to make up for this defect. The dictionary is arranged in three letters in alphabetical order. After the text, it is accompanied by a Japanese index (in the order of the syllabary) and a Chinese index (in alphabetical order). Packaging organizations and major publications have also met the needs of packaging workers around the world for more information, technology and understanding of the latest developments in the world. These can not but say that the dictionary is a tool for tailoring 21st century packaging workers.
When you read this book, you will find it so friendly, novel and unobtrusive. It is difficult to root in the packaging industry and adopt scientific methods, serious attitudes, and fruitful results. As a first attempt, the editors have difficulties. They neither have a reference bibliography nor experience in compiling a comprehensive dictionary. Inevitably there are errors and deficiencies in the dictionary. I hope that the readers will give criticisms and corrections to lay the foundation for the future revision of the dictionary. basis. At the same time, we should also cheer for him with this pragmatic spirit and pioneering ideas.
I hope every reader will like it as much as I do.
