Venus and Mercury should be the star seen in dawn or dusk---error in Chinese vervion #12

In the page 215 of Chinese vervion, the picture had some errors: Venus and Mercury should be the star seen in dawn or dusk, there was a question but no choice after it,...and so on. Please check this page with English vervion. Thank you.

@liangouy Thanks for spotting this. I don't know Chinese myself but I do have a copy of the translated book. Here is a side-by-side photo comparing it with the English edition. DSC_0004 From looking at the characters they've used for the planet names on page 44, it does look as though they haven't put the planet names. You are correct that one answer was "Venus" (金星). The other was "Mercury/Mars" (水星/火星). Once again, thanks for spotting this and letting us know. I'll add it to http://cosmos-book.github.io/errata/

Thank you for your response. But there are not just one error in this picture, please check the red circles in the attached image.I had translated the Chinese words in English in this picture. There are at least 9 errors. The last one which below the "streetlight" is not a question in Chinese edition. There might be another errors in this page but I can't see the other parts.  If you send the page 214-215, I will check all of them.There are some Chinese ancient constellation's errors, I had contacted to the azothbooks in Taiwan.
