✅ as long as 只要
✅ prescribe /prɪˈskraɪb/ v. 开药方，开处方
✅ legitimate /lɪˈdʒɪtɪmət/ adj. 合情合理的；合法的legitimacy /lɪˈdʒɪtɪməsi/ n. 合理，合法，合法性
✅ hasten /ˈheɪsn/ v. 加速；催促；匆忙做

分析
找谓语动词：maintains/prescribes/has done/uses
断开：逗号；that/as long as/even if

翻译
波士顿大学健康法律系主任乔治·安纳斯坚持认为，只要医生开药是出于合理的医疗目的，那么即使病人使用该药物加速了死亡，医生的行为也没有违法。

语法重点
断开长难句
根据连接词that/as long as/even if和标点逗号，可以把句子断开为4段。
✅【句1】主句：George Annas, chair of the health law department at Boston
University, maintains
✅【句2】宾语从句that, … , the doctor has done nothing illegal
✅【句3】条件状语从句：as long as a doctor prescribes a drug for a legitimate medical
purpose
✅【句4】让步状语从句：even if the patient uses the drug to hasten death.分裂结构
✅1)主句中chair of the health
law department at Boston University，从插入语/同位语，通过两个逗号隔开，插入到句子中间，造成主谓分裂开来。
✅2)句3条件状语从句as long as a doctor prescribes a drug for a legitimate medical
purpose，通过两个逗号隔开，插入到句子中间，造成句2宾语从句分裂开来。
