问题描述
I need your home and your business address. 我需要你的家庭地址和工作地址。
请问这里的 address为什么不用复数，是印刷错误吗？
“家庭地址”和“工作地址”不是指两个地址吗？
老师答疑
陈老师：
▲我的看法与English Expert的看法稍有不同：我觉得这里的 your home and your business address 仍指两个地址，属 your home (address) and your business address 的省略。即：
I need your home and your business address.
= I need your home (address) and your business address.
我需要你的家庭地址和工作地址。
▲类似用法如：
1. She likes classical and country music.
= She likes classical (music) and country music.
她喜欢古典音乐和乡村音乐。
2. He shifted the load from his left to his right shoulder.
= He shifted the load from his left (shoulder) to his right shoulder.
他把重物从左肩换到右肩。
3. The inner and the outer wall were both strongly defended.
= The inner (wall) and the outer wall were both strongly defended.
里墙和外墙均被严密守护。
▲请再比较：
We have a black and a white cat. 我们养了一只黑猫和一只白猫。
= We have a black (cat) and a white cat. 我们养了一只黑猫和一只白猫。（注意有两个冠词）
比较：We have a black and white cat. 我们养了一只黑白花猫。（注意只有一个冠词）
