英文原句 Although it ruled that there is no constitutional right to physician-assisted suicide, the Court in effect supported the medical principle of “double effect,” a centuries-old moral principle holding that an action having two effects -- a good one that is intended and a harmful one that is foreseen -- is permissible if the actor intends only the good effect. 难点解析 本句的难点在于子句比较多，状语从句里面又嵌套这宾语从句，现在分词又带了宾语从句，宾语从句中又嵌套了定语从句…… 遇到这种句子，需要耐心地判断各个成分之间的关系，要对子句的特点非常熟悉。需要知道状语从句和宾语从句通常是一个完整的句子，而定语从句中是缺少成分的。而且，要能区分引导不同从句的引导词，比如although, if, that等。 句子分析 子句类型状语从句 连 接 词ALTHOUGH 子句内容It ruled something. 语法分析It [主语] ruled [谓语] something.
