160. While some propose to combat widespread illegal copying of computer
programs by attempting to change people's attitudes toward pirating, others by
suggesting reducing software prices to decrease the incentive for pirating, and still
others by calling for the prosecution of those who copy software illegally.

A.by suggesting reducing software prices to decrease the incentive for pirating, and still others by calling
B.by suggesting the reduction of software prices to decrease the incentive for pirating, and still others call
C.suggest the reduction of software prices for decreasing the incentive for pirating, and still others call
D.suggest the reduction of software prices to decrease the incentive for pirating, and still others by calling
E.suggest reducing software prices to decrease the incentive for pirating, and still others are calling

选E，我觉得从逻辑上说，attempting to change people's attitudes toward pirating，reducing software prices to decrease the incentive for pirating和calling for the prosecution of those who copy software illegally三者才是parallelism；to combat widespread illegal copying of computer programs是三者共同的目的。OG认为三个并列为some propose, others suggest. . . , and still others are calling ....是形式上的而不是内容上的。拿如果paralellism只是要求形式上的统一的话，第三个并列and still others are calling是不是打破了并列呢？

总而研之，parallelism 到底是形式重要，还是内容重要。如果两者有矛盾时，那个优先？

不知我说清楚了没有？汉！

没有人理，也许这个问题太傻了

我觉得propose, suggest, call for从形式到内容都很平行啊？倒是它们后面所跟的内容从形式上看不太平等，但从内容都很平行的。

swiffer

propose 后面接的是to combat widespread illegal copying of computer
programs by attempting to change people's attitudes toward pirating；而suggest和call for后面都是 combat illegal copy的手段，所以我觉得propose、suggest和call for三者后面接的内容不并行。to combat widespread illegal copying of computer programs应该修饰整个句子的呀。

incentive for sth,

incentive to do

关于are calling,理解了句子就明白为什么了

虽然一些人反对盗版，有些人却在呼吁软件降价以消除盗版的动机，甚至（still)还有一小撮人正在扬言要保护盗版！

I think the "still" is quite important because it means sth is on-processing.

同意

現在進行式是現在式的加強 應該仍屬於同一類 所以沒有違反平行原則

原文没有说要保护盗版吧，说是起诉盗版，对吗？
