Indian and Pacific Oceans提到两个洋时,能不能用单数Ocean

South-East Asia is less hostile terrain, providing potential access to both the Indian and Pacific Oceans, for both commercial and military purposes.

搜索发现都是用复数,能否用单数?那为什么下面这句里的industry用了单数?

Irrespective of whether this is a good idea, a meaningful revival is unlikely when manufacturing and heavy industry are so much smaller than they were.

谢谢老师!

我记得,本站答疑专家王老师说过,both...and...连接的成分,必须对等。据此,both the Indian and Pacific Oceans 为不规范表达,似应改为:both the Indian Ocean and Pacific Ocean

关于manufacturing and heavy industry,这是蒙后省略。实为 manufacturing industry and heavy industry,网友注意到了没有,谓语动词用 are,而不是 is蒙后省略的词语,一定要翻译出来:制造业和重工业
