　　考研英語(yǔ)長(zhǎng)難句解析：

　　第1題：

　　【分析】復(fù)合句。主句主干為 justices acted。in several instances 和 in ways作狀語(yǔ)， that 引導(dǎo)定語(yǔ)從句修飾ways。

　　【譯文】然而，在一些情況下，法官的行為方式削弱了法院保持中立且公正的名聲。

　　第2題：

　　【分析】復(fù)合句，主句為 That kind of activity makes it less likely, it 是形式賓語(yǔ)，真正的賓語(yǔ)是that 引導(dǎo)的名詞性從句。

　　【譯文】這類(lèi)行為使得法院的裁定被認(rèn)為是公正判決的可能性有所下降。

　　【詞法拓展】

　　it 作形式賓語(yǔ)放在動(dòng)詞與賓語(yǔ)補(bǔ)足語(yǔ)之間，指代不定式、動(dòng)名詞、從句等，此時(shí)，it 無(wú)實(shí)際意義。這種情況只能用于能以名詞或形容詞作賓語(yǔ)補(bǔ)足語(yǔ)的動(dòng)詞后面，如feel, consider, find, believe,make, take, imagine,suppose, think, deem, regard, count 等。

　　第3題：

　　【分析】復(fù)合句。At the very least在句首作狀語(yǔ)，that 引導(dǎo)定語(yǔ)從句修飾 the code of conduct。

　　【譯文】至少，法院應(yīng)當(dāng)服從適用于聯(lián)邦司法系統(tǒng)其余部門(mén)的行為準(zhǔn)則。

　　第4題：

　　【分析】復(fù)合句。主句為 They gave justices permanent positions, so 引導(dǎo)目的狀語(yǔ)從句，從句主干為they would be free...and have no need...。

　　【譯文】他們給予法官們終身任期，以便法官們能自由地推翻當(dāng)權(quán)者，且無(wú)需拉攏政治支持。
