本题考核知识点：后置定语的翻译。
该句是由but连接的两个并列分句：前一分句是简单句，后一分句是主从复合句。后一分句的主干是he claimed that...，其中that引导宾语从句。从句中形容词短语capable of...做后置定语，修饰名词a technique, a method。该定语可以按照汉语习惯译为前置定语，即，“一种可以产生预期的政治效果的明显的技巧和方法”；也可以采用拆译法，译为一个句子，增译代词“它”做主语。
词汇：claim意为“宣称，声称，说”；definite意为“肯定的，确定的；清楚的，明显的”，它和technique搭配时取“明显的”含义；desired意为“渴望的，期望的”，当它和results/effect等词搭配时常常译为“预期的”。
翻译：其动机是宗教性质的，但他也说这是一种明显的技巧，一种方法，它可以产生预期的政治效果。
