Abstract：This paper introduces an Example-Based Machine Translation (EBMT) method for Oracle Bone Inscriptions(OBI). The key technologies in the example library building process, similarity algorithm of example sentences and example retrieval algorithm are proposed. And a machine translation system is developed to verify the proposed method. Experimental results show that the target sentences obtained by the machine translation can meet the demands of OBI researchers.
