other as a way to relax是省略句吗

Some people do it as a hobby, other as a way to relax.

这里other后面不是省略了people do it吗？算是个省略句吗？若是的话前面为何不加连词？

“简练”是语言的精髓，重复啰嗦是大忌。前面说过的词汇，应尽可能防止重复。所以：

Some people do it as a hobby, others as a way to relax. 等于：

Some people do it as a hobby, others as a way to relax.

与some people 对应的是 others，不是other。
