영작을 하다 보면 “~까지”라고 쓸 때 “until”“by” 둘 중 어떤 것을 써야 할지 헷갈리는 경우가 있죠?

한국인들이 정말 자주 틀리는 부분이하고 하는데요.

서로 다른 “until”“by” 두 단어를 우리말로는 모두 “~까지라고 쓰기 때문에 실수가 잦다고 합니다.

사실 두 단어의 차이를 알면 간단한 문제예요.

먼저 “~까지”에는  ‘무엇을 언제까지 지속적으로 한다’라는 의미가 있죠? 이때는 “until”을 쓰시면 돼요.

그리고  ‘기한’ , ‘deadline’을 말하고자 할 때는 “by”를 쓰면 됩니다.

알고 나면, 허무할 정도로 간단한데 우리말로 먼저 문장을 생각하고 영작을 하다 보면 정말 흔히 할 수 있는 실수인 것 같아요.

 

아래 예문을 보시면 더 쉽게 이해가 되실 거예요.

 

I will study until 10 o'clock. (O) (10시 까지 쭉 공부를 이어가겠다는 의미예요.)

I will finish studying by 10 o'clock. (O) (10시 까지 끝내겠다는 말이므로 종료시간이 8시던 9시던 상관없어요.)

I will finish studying until 10 o'clock. (X) (이렇게 쓰면 10시까지 공부 마무리를 계속 하겠다?는 이상한 말이 돼요.)

 

그럼 계속해서 예문을 더 살펴 볼까요?

Let's begin!
