那当然，因为它们是直接从日语里搬过来的，意思都是对应的。可是还有一些词汇就很有复杂的渊源。比如说“社会”这个词，在古代汉语里是“集会结社”的意思，日本人拿它来翻译英语的society，我们再借到汉语里来，才成为今天的意思。
nà dāngrán ，yīnwèi tāmen shì zhíjiē cóng rìyǔ lǐ bānguòlai de ，yìsi dōu shì duìyìng de 。kěshì hái yǒu yīxiē cíhuì jiù hěn yǒu fùzá de yuānyuán 。bǐrú shuō “shèhuì ”zhège cí ，zài gǔdài hànyǔ lǐ shì “jíhuì jiéshè ”de yìsi ，rìběnrén ná tā lái fānyì yīngyǔ de society ，wǒmen zài jièdào hànyǔ lǐ lái ，cái chéngwéi jīntiān de yìsi 。
Of course, they were directly brought over from Japanese, with corresponding meanings. But the origin of some words is really complicated. For example，''society." In ancient Chinese it meant ''to form an association." The Japanese used it to translate the English word ''society." It only came into its modern meaning after Chinese borrowed it again.
