英语句子结构分析.

The foundation, a non-profit championing free speech on campus, has defended students and professors punished for everything from mocking Islamic Awareness Week to criticizing affirmative action to speaking against the military.

punished for everything是不是分词作后置定语修饰students and professors?

from mocking Islamic Awareness Week, to criticizing affirmative action, to speaking against the military 这三个是不是并列的, 都是修饰everything?

Answer 1

　　1、punished for everything 是修饰 students and professors 的后置定语，相当于定语从句students and professors who are punished for ...（因从…到…再到…的所有行为而受到严厉批评的学生和教授）
　　2、并列成分需要用并列连词连接，第二个问题中没有连词，因此不成其为并列。其中的 from 和两个 to 都是介词，后面的介词宾语是三个动名词，用的是 from … to … to … 结构，表示是 “从…到…再到…”，意思是 “从嘲笑伊斯兰的先觉周到对反歧视行动给予非议再到说挑战性语言” 的这一切行为
