質問: "go it over" vs "go over it" 「もう一度繰り返してください」の意味では"go it over"は誤りで、"go over it"が正しいそうですが、恥ずかしながらあたくしもこれは知りませんでした。 次のような例を見ますと、かなり英語には堪能な人でも上記については知らない人が結構いるのではないかと思われます: teacher:- "ok lets go it over again." 先生(分かりました、もう一回やってみましょう。) https://eikaiwa.dmm.com/uknow/questions/857/ ところで、少し調べてみましたところ次のようなかなり古い文献で"go it over"が何度も繰り返し使われているのに気付きました。 昔は"go it over"も珍しくはなかったのか、それともこの文献では「繰り返す」とは異なる意味で使用されているのか、はたまたこの文献はかなりヤバい文献で、学術的にはゴミに等しいものなのでしょうか? you must go to some ingenious file cutter, and get a roll made of the best steel, about one inch diameter, and one third thick and hatcht round the edge, and crost again at right angles: the fashion of the engine and the several tools used in scraping the grownd is hereunto annexed, then take your copper plate and divide it into square inches, and draw the lines parellels and perpendiculars with a black-lead pencil, then cross it diagonal ways; then take your engine in one hand, the other bearing indifferent hard upon the frame, run it up two or three of the squares from the left till you come to the right hand of your plate, so gradually till you have gone it over one way, then cross it the other way; so likewise the diagonal ways, till you have gone it over the four several ways; then you must begin again, and go it over the same ways again, till you have gone it over at least twenty times, till you leave no place untoucht with your engine: your grownd being thus laid, take your design and rub white-lead upon the back side, and fix it on the plate, and with your drawing-point, draw over all the out-stroakes and bounds of the principal shadows, and it will come off upon the plate; then with your several scrapers, lightly scraping upon the extreme lights, and so gradually all the other shadows, until you have brought all the drawing of your design upon the plate; then take a proof off, by which means you will be able to go on in the finishing of it, although you must proof it three or four times before you can thoroughly finish it. https://www.npg.org.uk/research/programmes/early-history-of-mezzotint.php
回答: 私も「go it over」は聞いたことがありませんし、「go over it」なら使います。で、その17世紀の人の文章は、あまりにも現代の英語と違うので参考にならないでしょう。参照先としては下記のほうがいいと思います。 https://forum.wordreference.com/threads/go-over-it-go-it-over.3495933/
