선생님과 함께 지문을 읽어보세요.

ElephantiasisChristos is a parasitic disease which is transmitted from human to human
by mosquito bites. The parasite tends to lodge in and block the lymph nodes
that drain into the lower extremities, producing massive enlargement and deformity
of the legs and genitalia. Dramatic photographs of those affected appear in every
infectious disease text.
Organisms that cause the disease are Wuchereria bancrofti, Brugia malayi,
and B. timori, all transmitted by mosquitoes. Lymphatic filariasis currently affects
120 million people worldwide, and 40 million of these people have been seriously
infected with the disease, which is extremely rare in the Western countries,
and is found almost exclusively in the tropics. The disease is also called bancrofitan
filariasis and lymphatic filariasis. Brugia malayi causes a similar disease,
while Onchocerca volvulus causes many disorders in addition to elephantiasis.

Korean Trap! / 한국인 실수 교정

Common mistakes Korean speakers make.
한국인이 자주 하는 실수를 알아봅시다.

❌ The disease is transmitted from mosquito.

✅ The disease is transmitted by mosquitoes. / The disease is transmitted through mosquito bites.

한국어에서는 '모기로부터 전염된다'라고 하기 때문에 "from mosquito"라고 직역하기 쉽습니다. 하지만 영어에서 전염 매개체를 나타낼 때는 "by + 매개체" 또는 "through + 수단"을 사용합니다. "from"은 사람 대 사람처럼 감염 출처를 나타낼 때 씁니다 (예: transmitted from human to human).
