具体语境为:Pronunciation is the key to learning another language and to making yourself understood by native speakers. 句中的第二个to是否可以去掉?
Pronunciation is the key to learning another language and (to去掉) making yourself understood by native speakers。
参考译文:发音的关键在于学习第2种语言并使母语说话者理解你的意思。
解答如下:
the key to doing sth(1) and doing sth(2)作某事1和做某事2的关键。
以上结构为2个并列动名词短语作介词to宾语,因此后面第2个介词to省略。
备注:
(1)the key to sth/doing sth 某事/做某事关键,
(2)to+名词/动名词构成介词短语作后置定语,修饰前面名词“key”
