第二个人问大全239

239. Despite its attractiveness, investing abroad can still pose big risks, ranging from the potential for political instability in some countries to the shortage of regulations to protect investors and a serious lack of information about investments in others.

(A) to the shortage of regulations to protect investors and a serious lack of information about investments in others (答案A)
(B) to the shortage of regulations to protect investors and in others a serious lack of information about investments
(C) and the shortage of regulations to protect investors and a serious lack of information about investments in others
(D) and the shortage of regulations to protect investors to a serious lack of information about investments in others
(E) to the shortage of regulations to protect investors in others and a serious lack of information about investments

我原来选的D，大全的解释是“D) the potential和the shortage内容上不平行; from….to….的结构不对称。”

我还不太明白，是不是说potential和shortage意思差太远，而shortage和lack接近 ---- 难道只有同近义并列才算平行？--- 我不想走入误区，所以还得NN帮忙啊

还有，D中间的from ... to ... 结构有什么不平行呢 --- 难道非要是from the potential 介词X to a serious lack 介词X ?? --- 我可不想给自己提前下陷阱，所以求救啊

这题的正确的形式应该是from...to...

而D中成了from......and......

因为the shortage 和a serious lack在意思上更为接近，这二者应该在from...to...结构中看做一个整体，与前面的potential for political instability 平行。所以D错，D将potential for political instability 与the shortage 看成一个整体，同serious lack平行。所以就造成了平行结构的不对称。
