拆分点参考：标点符号，从属连词，现在分词

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.

结构解析

（1）句子结构为：Although..., the Court supported the medical principle of “double effect”, a centuries-old moral principle…；

（2）a centuries-old moral principle是the medical principle of “double effect”的同位语；

（3）holding that...是分词短语做a centuries-old moral principle的后置定语，其中that后加宾语从句，宾语从句的主干为an action is permissible，having two effects是分词短语做an action的后置定语，双破折之内的表达做two effects的同位语。

✦

技巧点拨

（1）a centuries-old moral principle holding that...，句子的同位语部分表达复杂，翻译时单独成句；

（2）a good one that is intended and a harmful one that is foreseen，此处的两个that引导的定语从句，从句简洁，翻译时采用前置法，放在所修饰名词的前面，即希望达到的好效果和可以预见的坏效果。

参考译文

尽管法庭认定宪法并未赋予医生协助病人自杀的权利，实际上却认可了“双效”的医疗原则。这个存在了几个世纪的道德原则认为，如果某种行为具有双重效果——希望达到的好效果和可以预见的坏效果，那么，只要行为实施者仅仅旨在好的效果，其行为就是允许的。
