[問題] 聯合報內附 The New York Times精選文章句子結構問題

[hong]

各位大大，請問下面那句英文的結構問題
出處：
2006/8/21 聯合報內附 The New York Times精選 第A5 頁
Coffe, and Hope, Now Grow Where Genocide Once Ruled (by LAURA FRASER)
最後倒數第二段第一句

He has earned enough money to send his children to school, buy health insurance, a cow and two goats, and is planning on building a new house.

有二個問題
Ⅰ、本句結構是 A or B (我用數學符號比較好說明)
A) He has earned enough money to [(send….school), (buy…….goats), and (is…..house.)]
Or
B) He { has earned enough money to[(send….school), (buy…..goats)] }, and { is …….house. }

也就是 is 前面的and 是指 is 和誰作平行結構
如果是A) “is” 和 “send “ “buy” 作平行(X, Y, and Z)，那 “is “ 為何不用”be” 作成 to +Vr
如果是B) “is” 和 “has “ 作平行結構，那為何 to後面接send….school 及 buy…goats，
如此是不是少一個連接詞

Ⅱ、句子中間 buy health insurance, a cow and two goats
其and 是指 two goats 和誰作平行結構
A)如果是 health insurance及a cow 及two goats 三者平行，那and 前為何沒” , “號
作成 X, Y, and Z
B)如果是 a cow 及two goats 二者平行，那 insurance 後的” , ” 是什麼意思呢


對不起，因為在準則托福，所以對句子結構比較敏感，
而問題較長，請各位大大幫助一下…….謝謝@_@

記得以前也拿過The NY Times去問莫老大
我也是對平衡有疑問
詳細內容不記得了
那一句是在and後加逗號平衡三個

莫老只是笑笑的回答我:
"因為The NY Times是權威報紙,它愛怎麼寫就怎麼寫"

所以你不用太在意
看懂在講什麼就好了
