同位语之间为什么可以词性不一致

Under these conditions, it made good sense to thousands of peasant families to in effect work full-time at what they had been able to do only part-time previously because of the requirement to work for the government: grow rice for the marketplace.

请教一下各位老师,这句话中grow rice for the marketplacewhat they had been able to do only part-time previously because of the requirement to work for the government的同位语,what they had been able to do only part-time previously because of the requirement to work for the governmentwork at的宾语,具有且只能具有名词性质,那么为什么冒号后是grow rice for the marketplace,而不是growing rice for the marketplace?同位语之间为何可以词性不一?

你先看一下下面这个句子:

What they had been able to do only part-time was (to) grow rice for the marketplace.

你可能知道,当主语部分含有实意动词do时,作表语的不定式的to是可以省略的,而且省略比不省略更为常见。这种表语为确认性表语,即主语=表语。这样你就可以理解二者具有同位关系。你的句子中的grow rice for the marketplace其实就是一个不定式短语作what从句的同位语,省略了不定式符号to。加上to也是可以的。
