并列句中后面一个动词be的省略问题（前后性质不一样）

并列句中前半句用了系动词，后半句被动句中be动词可以省吗？

解答：后面的“助动词be”不可以省略'  is shaped' 作后面句子谓语成分, 前面is为系动词be 后面 is助动词be. 其语法功能完全不同。

Today, of course, he is the world's top diplomat and his formative years shaped by conflict, hunger, and lack of opportunities—together with a meeting with President John F.

应该改为下面句子

Today, of course, he is the world's top diplomat and his formative years  is shaped by conflict, hunger, and lack of opportunities—together with a meeting with President John F.

分句1的语法结构分析如下：

状语：Today

状语：of course

主语：he

系动词：is 

表语：the world's top diplomat

分句2的语法结构分析如下：

主语：his formative years

谓语：is shaped

状语：by conflict , hunger and lack of opportunities -together with a meeting with president John F.

(备注:分句2中,谓语is shaped中的助动词 is 不可以省略，否则就错了。）

formative years:形成性格时期

Her formative years were spent in Los Angeles.  

她的成长阶段是在洛杉矶度过的.

She spent her formative years in east London.  

她在伦敦东区度过其性格形成关键期。

(1)有一个and并列连词连接的2个并列句，既然是2个并列句就必须出现2个谓语动词。

(备注：并列句1为“主系表”结构；并列句2为“主谓”结构）

(2)第1个and为连接2个并列句子并列连词，因此必须有2个谓语动词。

(3)第2个and为连接2个名词短语,by conflict, hunger and lack of opportunity ，这2个名词及短语是并列平行关系。
