并列句中前半句用了系动词，后半句被动句中be动词可以省吗？
Today, of course, he is the worlds TOP diplomat and his formative years shaped by conflict, hunger, and lack of opportunities—together with a meeting with President John F.

▲我感觉最好不要省略，由于前面的is为系动词，后面为被动语态，两者不只性质不同，而且数也不同（前面为单数is，后面为复数are；当然也可以理解为…years是一个整体，后面用单数动词is）。又如：
The sky was blue and the sun was shining. 天空是蔚蓝的，阳光明媚。
His heart was pounding and his mouth was dry. 他心里怦怦跳，嘴巴发干。
The paths were covered with drifting snow and the going was difficult. 路上布满了积雪，行进艰难。
▲但硬要说省略就错也不肯定，譬如下面这句，and前面的is显然是系动词，但and后面的被动语态却省略了助动词is：
He is extremely ill and not expected to live. 他病得非常重，看来活不成了。
这个句子源于朗文词典，非常显然它是下面一句的省略的形式：
He is extremely ill and is not expected to live. 他病得非常重，看来活不成了。
