Abstract

In Japanese system, honorifics are a very representative and characteristic part. As for Chinese learners who study Japanese, degeneration of honorifics in modern Chinese and the asymmetry of Chinese and Japanese honorifics make it more difficult to learn Japanese honorifics. In addition, there are various problems during applying honorifics. That is to say, Japanese honorifics are important and difficult in Japanese teaching. Business Japanese is a professional course after students have certain language foundation. Therefore, learners should have a good language foundation, understand some rules in business Japanese, and accurately apply the language knowledge in business occasions. On the basis of business correspondence in Japanese enterprises, application of Japanese honorifics was analyzed by examples and application laws were summarized, which provided a reference for discussing the disadvantages of teaching.
