lack和lack of的用法

下面這句話來自新聞報(bào)道，也被選做閱讀理解材料，網(wǎng)頁上可以查到。Compared with foreign festivals, traditional Chinese festivals are not inferior in cultural connotation, but lack of fashionable elements pursued by modern people.

其中關(guān)于lack的用法想請教各位老師：

1.文章使用了lack of，則lack被當(dāng)成名詞。

①假如原句中的lack of fashionable elements pursued by modern people與not inferior in cultural connotation并列，則并列句還原成：traditional Chinese festivals are lack of fashionable elements pursued by modern people.但并沒有be lack of sth的用法。正確句子應(yīng)為traditional Chinese festivals are in (a) lack of fashionable elements pursued by modern people. 則原句將in 省略了，請問這樣可以嗎？

②假如原句中的 lack of fashionable elements pursued by modern people 與cultural connotation并列，則并列句還原成：traditional Chinese festivals are not inferior in (a) lack of fashionable elements pursued by modern people. 雖然句子語法正確，但邏輯錯(cuò)誤。

2.個(gè)人認(rèn)為如果將原句lack of中的of 去掉，將lack當(dāng)成及物動(dòng)詞使用，則語法和邏輯都正確。請問我的想法對嗎？

感謝各位老師！
