난이도: 중급
이 부분은 평행 구조 사용에 대한 다섯 번에 걸친 시리즈의 세 번째입니다. 이 부분은 평행 구조에서 흔히 발견되는 단어들에 대해 집중적으로 살펴봅니다.
Uni-edit의 편집자들은 원고를 편집할 때, 종종 평행 구조를 제대로 사용하지 못한 것을 교정하곤 합니다. 평행 구조를 제대로 사용하면, 영어 원어민이나 비원어민 모두에게 쓰여진 글이 읽기 쉽고 이해하기 쉽게 됩니다.
이러한 흔히 발견되는 단어들을 사용하는 문장에서는 뜻을 명확하게 하기 위해서 평행 구조를 사용해야만 합니다. 이 규칙이 제대로 지켜지지 않은 경우에는, 문장을 재배치하여 바로 잡을 수 있습니다.
잘못된 예: It was both a long ceremony and very tedious.
옳은 예: The ceremony was both long and tedious.
설명: 옳은 예에서는, 'ceremony'가 지금 묘사되고 있는 주어인 것이 분명합니다. 잘못된 예에서는, 주어가 'it'인지 'ceremony'인지가 분명하지 않습니다. 주어가 분명하지 않으므로, 이 문장은 문법적으로 잘못되었습니다.
또 다른 예를 들어보겠습니다: 평행 구조에서 'for'의 사용을 주의깊게 보십시오.
잘못된 예: A time not for words, but action.
옳은 예: A time not for words, but for action.
또 다른 예를 들어보겠습니다: 평행 구조에서 'that'의 사용을 주의깊게 보십시오.

평행 구조에 대한 세 번째 Tip - both, and; not, but; not only, but also; either, or; first, second, third 등
Uni-edit English Writing Tip: Parallel structures Part C — both, and; not, but; not only, but also; either, or; first, second, third etc.
Level of difficulty: Intermediate
This is the third part in a five part series about using parallel structures. This part focuses on the use of commonly found words in parallel structures.
While editing English manuscripts, Uni-edit editors often need to correct sentences for correct usage of parallel structures. Correct use of parallel structures makes the writing easier to read and easier to understand for native-speakers of English and for non-native speakers of English.
For sentences that use these commonly found words, parallel structures are required to ensure clarity. Many violations of this rule can be corrected by rearranging the sentence.
Incorrect: It was both a long ceremony and very tedious.
English corrected: The ceremony was both long and tedious.
Explanation: In the correct sentence, 'ceremony' is clearly the subject that is being described. In the incorrect sentence, is the subject 'it' or 'ceremony'? The subject is not clear, which makes the sentence grammatically incorrect.
Another example is below. Pay attention to the use of 'for' in the parallel structure.
Incorrect: It is a time not for words, but action.
English corrected: It is a time not for words, but for action.
Another example is below. Pay attention to the use of 'that' in the parallel structure.
Incorrect: My objections are, first, the injustice of the measure; second, that it is unconstitutional.
English corrected: My objections are, first, that the measure is unjust; second, that it is unconstitutional.
