今日长难句：

选自《VOA新闻》

While USA Gymnastics and the US Olympic and Para’lympic Committee have now agreed to pay hundreds of millions of dollars in compensation, both organizations have been accused by lawyers for the victims of doing all they could to evade their legal and moral responsibility in having created an environment in which the physician acted with impunity over many years.

虽然美国体操协会以及美国奥林匹克和残奥会已经同意支付数亿美元的赔偿，但是这两个组织都被受害者的律师指控多年以来为队医创造了一个为所欲为的环境，尽其所能逃避它们的法律和道德责任。

这句话开头的while作为连词应该理解成“虽然，尽管”的意思，在句中表示让步，while sb have agreed to do sth，再往后阅读时为了便于理解，可以自己加上转折的语气，但是， both organizations have been accused by sb of doing sth，但是两个组织都被某人指控作某事，注意这其中的固定搭配，be accused by sb of doing sth被某人指控作某事,之后跟随不定式 to evade their legal and moral responsibility，逃避法律和道德责任，什么样的责任？ responsibility in having created an environment，创造出了一个环境的责任，注意这其中的固定搭配，responsibility in doing sth，什么样的环境？之后跟随定语从句修饰environment， in which the physician acted with impunity over many years. 在这个环境中，队医在这些年里为所欲为。

总结下，这句话由3个简单句组成，3个谓语动词是have agreed，have been accused，acted。整句话意思是：虽然美国体操协会以及美国奥林匹克和残奥会已经同意支付数亿美元的赔偿，但是这两个组织都被受害者的律师指控多年以来为队医创造了一个为所欲为的环境，尽其所能逃避它们的法律和道德责任。

核心要点：

1. accuse sb of sth v. 控告，指控；指责，谴责，归咎于

例：She accused him of lying.

她指责他说谎。

2.evade responsibility 逃避责任

例：She is trying to evade all responsibility for her behaviour.

她在试图逃避应为自己的行为承担的所有责任。

3.act with impunity 行为不受惩罚;逍遥法外

例：By and large this is a fun week but that doesn't mean you can act with impunity.

总的来说，这是有趣的一周，但这并不意味着你就彻底平安无事了。
