例252　Studies show that the seriously ill do not want to know that truth about their condition, and informing them risks destroying their hope, so that they may recover more lowly, or deteriorate faster, perhaps even commit suicide.

【結(jié)構(gòu)分析】句子主干是Studies show...，后面是兩個(gè)并列的賓語(yǔ)從句，第一個(gè)賓語(yǔ)從句是the seriously ill do not want to know that truth about their condition，第二個(gè)賓語(yǔ)從句是informing them risks destroying their hope，后面加上目的狀語(yǔ)從句so that they may recover more lowly, or deteriorate faster, perhaps even commit suicide。

【亮點(diǎn)回放】這句話的亮點(diǎn)在于大并列和小并列，賓語(yǔ)從句兩個(gè)并列是大并列，而第二個(gè)賓語(yǔ)從句so that后面的幾個(gè)動(dòng)詞，是小并列，屬于從句的并列。
