【翻译-英译汉练习】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.
【翻译参考译文】
虽然法院裁定宪法没有赋予医生协助病人自杀的权力,但是其实际上却支持“双重效应”的医学原则。而这个延续了数百年的道德原则认为,如果自杀行为的执行者只想要好的效应,那么一种有着双重效应(即一个想要达到的好效应和一个被预见的造成伤害的效应)的行为是允许的。
