问题描述
请问是 to do and do 还是 to do and to do? 如果把 and 换成 or 呢？后面一个不定式要不要带 to？
老师答疑
黎老师：
■当两个带 to 不定式由 and 或 or 连接时，第二个不定式符号常可省略。例如：
I intend to call on him and discuss this question again.
Christina hardly knew whether to laugh or cry.
She asked me to telephone or wire to her on Monday.
■若两个并列的带不定式有对比含义，第二个不定式符号便不能省略。例如：
To be or not to be, that is the question. 存在还是毁灭，是个要考虑的问题。
I haven't decided to go home or to stay at school this summer .
■不用并列连词的情况下，第二个不定式符号也不能省略。例如：
Please go to the seaside to swim, to get suntanned.
He likes to stay with the peasants, to work in the fields with them.
■当三个或三个以上带不定式构成排比结构时，所有的不定式符号均须保留。例如：
Read not to contradict or confute; nor to believe and take for granted; not to find talk and discourse; but to weigh and consider.

波老师：
两个并列的不定式，无论是用并列连词 and 连接还是用并列连词 or 连接，第二个不定式前的 to 均可省略。如：
He told me to stay there and wait him. 他叫我在那儿等他。
I'm really puzzled what to think or say. 我真不知该怎么想怎么说。
