两个并列不定式第二个不定式要不要带to

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?

当两个带 to 不定式由 and 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.

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。

Which would you prefer:To win a million pounds or (to) have a brain like Einstein’s? 你喜欢哪一样:赢得100万英镑还是有一个爱因斯坦的头脑?
