本来是想找一个中文->日文的词典，但是竟然没有，至少装了一个英日的，聊胜于无吧。参考这里。

顺便提一句，寻找过程中无意中发现了支持中文发音（虽然没什么大用）的汉英词典，我系统里一直没有汉英词典，十分不便，于是装上了。算是意外的收获。:)

西方人学这个就吃亏大了，比如“も（モ）”这个假名，ikana中的Memory Hint是：

"This looks like more like a dragon fly"

还能比这再牵强一点儿么，看看字源吧：

平假名“も”字源 “毛”字的草书 片假名“モ”字源 “毛”字的下半部 

对于中国人来说，几乎已经不用学了，这就是古时候我们强大的祖先给我们留下的好处之一，不管好坏，能够给别人输出价值观和文化，确实是有很多方便，母语为英语的那些人近些年已经享受太多这种方便了，让我们在这个小小的角落暗爽一次吧！
