"""Contextual Errors""" (熟词望文生义） This occurs when the translator understands the words individually but did not take into account the context. For example: (zho) 番茄 1粒 → 1 tomato (zho) 花椰菜（花碎） 少许 → A little broccoli (zho) 蟹柳 1条 → 1 crab meat (willow)
The last one is an example of an error.
"""Causality Errors"""
