再问GWD-29-Q18

In the early part of the twentieth century, many vacationers found that driving automobiles and sleeping in tents allowed them to enjoy nature close at hand and tour at their own pace, with none of the restrictions of passenger trains and railroad timetables or with the formalities, expenses, and impersonality of hotels.

A.    with none of the restrictions of passenger trains and railroad timetables or with the

B.    with none of the restrictions of passenger trains, railroad timetables, nor

C.    without the restrictions of passenger trains and railroad timetables nor

D.    without the restrictions of passenger trains and railroad timetables or with the

E.     without the restrictions of passenger trains and railroad timetables or the

答案是E，我想问的是既然without只能跟or搭配，为什么formalities前面为什么要加“the"？为什么expenses和impersonality之前就不加the了呢？这三个名词还要区别对待吗？望指点。。。

我觉得

without+ n1 or + n2 首先是个并列的关系，即n1 和 n2要形式并列，所以，the restrictions of 以及 the formalities, expenses, and impersonality of；因此，the 是必需的。

在n1里，the restrictions of passenger trains and railroad timetables 其实是 the restrictions of passenger trains and （the restrictions of） railroad timetables ，这个我们都明白。同样道理，在n2里，the formalities, expenses, and impersonality of hotels 其实是 the formalities, （the) expenses, and (the) impersonality of hotels。

这里有两个层次的并列，你可能是把两个层次的并列混乱了。

不知道是不是应该这么理解。

有道理！
