What is an amateur error?

Amateur mistakes

Friends who often attend meetings will definitely have heard leaders pronounce words incorrectly or use wrong words when speaking. For example, read "abide by" as "keep", read "one shot but can't take it back" as "one shot and can't stop it"...

However, these mistakes are understandable. After all, leaders are not academics. Reading the wrong words and using the wrong words is a mistake that can be tolerated. In 2005, Ji Baocheng, President of Renmin University of China, said "fire in July" at a cultural exchange event. It was a joke that shocked both sides of the Taiwan Strait. A Chinese professional academic leader actually couldn't figure out the origin of the famous line "Fires of Fire in July" in the Book of Songs, and made an academic joke at a major cultural event. It can be called an amateurish professional mistake. Tsinghua University President Gu Binglin also made a joke during a cross-strait cultural event by mispronounced the word "皠" in "Who is responsible for the power of separation?"

However, compared with the amateur professional mistakes made by Principals Ji and Gu, the recent joke made by the Culture Department of the People's Literature Publishing House may be called "the most amateur professional mistake" and is not for the sake of Pass.
