　　after six months of arguing and final 16 hours of hotparliamentary debates, australia's northern territorybecame the first legal authority in the world toallow doctors to take the lives of incurably ill patientswho wish to die.

　　译文：经过6个月的争论和最后16个小时的国会激烈辩论，澳大利亚北领地成为世界上第一个允许医生根据绝症病人个人意愿来结束其生命的立法当局。

　　点睛：本句的主干为australia's northern territorybecame the first legal authority...，句首成分aftersix months of arguing and final 16 hours of hot parliamentary debates是介词短语作状语。后面的动词不定式to allow doctors…who wish to die相当于定语从句which allows doctors to…，修饰legalauthority。短语take the life of sb.=take sb.’s life，意为“结束某人的生命”。

　　考点归纳：其他与life相关的短语及用法：
