斷開長(zhǎng)難句：

①主句：George Annas, chair of the health law department at Boston University, maintains?

②賓語(yǔ)從句：that,..., the doctor has done nothing illegal

③條件狀語(yǔ)從句：as long as a doctor prescribes a drug for a legitimate medical purpose

④讓步狀語(yǔ)從句：even if the patient uses the drug to hasten death

George Annas, chair of the health law department at Boston University, maintains / that, as long as a doctor prescribes a drug for a legitimate medical purpose, the doctor has done nothing illegal / even if the patient uses the drug to hasten death.

??分裂結(jié)構(gòu)

• 句子①中chair of the health law department at Boston University，作為插入語(yǔ)/同位語(yǔ)，插入到句子中間，造成主謂分裂。
• 句子③通過兩個(gè)逗號(hào)作為插入語(yǔ)造成賓語(yǔ)從句分裂。

譯文：

波士頓大學(xué)健康法律系主任喬治·安納斯堅(jiān)持認(rèn)為，只要醫(yī)生開藥是出于合理的醫(yī)療目的，那么即使病人使用該藥物加速了死亡，醫(yī)生的行為也沒有違法。
