교재 53page에서,

      1. C. When an article or a preposition appears before the first in a series of parallel items, repeat the word before others in the series. i. The mechanic did a better wiring job on our car than Kyle’s. (X) => The mechanic did a better wiring job on our car than on Kyle’s. (O) 
      2. ii. Annie will first help with my essay and then will help Johnny, Mark and Andy. (X) => Annie will first help with my essay and then will help with Johnny’s, Mark’s and Andy’s. (O) 

      3. D. When using an article or preposition in a list, use it once before the first of the list or repeat it before all of the list. i. I like to swim, dance and to cook. (X) => I like to swim, dance and cook (O) => I like to swim, to dance and to cook (O) 

C와 D를 어떻게 구분하는지 잘 모르겠습니다. 예를 들어서, C의 예문을 보면 The mechanic did a better wiring job on our car than Kyle’s. (X) => The mechanic did a better wiring job on our car than on Kyle’s. (O) 라고 되어있는데, D처럼 list라고 생각하면 our car에만 on을 붙이고 Kyle's에는 on을 붙이지 않아도 되는 것 아닌가요?

=> good question. 

 

 

그런데 이 문제는 두가지 방향으로 생각할 수 있습니다. 

 

The mechanic did a better job on our car than Kylie's... 라고 쓰면 (on 없이)... 해석이 it could mean that "the mechanic did a better job on our car than the job that kylie's (mechanic) did on our car... 즉, mechanic가 두 사람이고 우리가 아는 mechanic가 kylie가 아는 mechanic 보다 우리 차를 더 잘 고쳤다... 라는 전혀 다른 뜻의 문장이 될 수 있습니다. 

 

즉, 이 경우 Kylie's의 aportrophy s ('s)가 Kylie's car를 말하는지 Kylie's mechanic를 말하는지가 불확실 해진다는 뜻이죠. 

 

 

아니면 다른 방향으로 보면 

 

 

C.는  first in a series of parallel items

(When an article or a preposition appears before the first in a series of parallel items, repeat the word before others in the series.)

 

D.는 in a list라고 쓰여있죠? 

(When using an article or preposition in a list, )

 

두 가지 경우가 엄연히 다른거죠?

 

 

Hope this helps~
