翻案

1. Origins, structure, and basic meaning

• Structure: 翻案(ほんあん) is a noun and する verb for adapting an original work to a different period or medium.
• Basic usage: Adapting a tale for the stage appears in 昔話を舞台劇に翻案する, while an adapted part of a film is 映画の翻案部分.

2. Common pitfalls and similar expressions

• Original and new form
  • The focus is on changing content or expression for a new setting or medium rather than reproducing the original unchanged.
• Source and resulting form
  • Mark the source work with を and the resulting form with に, as in 昔話を舞台劇に翻案する.
