They were classified into eight categories : grammatical errors , violation of English idioms , total ignorance of the original implications , partial reflection of the Chinese original , erro neous use of general medical terms , erroneous use of specific medical terms , violation of medical principles , and wrong interpretation of pharmaceutical concepts. For each category , three examples were given. The mistakes found in the book counted up to ten times the number of examples. In addition , much more English equivalents were found in want of standardization. However , since the book was published as a formal document with com pulsory application approved and promulgated by China National Committee for Terms in Sciences and Technolo gies , it has given wrong directions domestically and made an unfavorable impact abroad.
