1The court cannot __1__ its legitimacy as guardian of the rule of law __2__ justices behave like politicians.
主干主语:The court;谓语:cannot __1__;宾语:its legitimacy as guardian of the rule of law __2__ justices behave like politicians。
结构这是一个复合句式,主干是The court cannot __1__ its legitimacy。as guardian of the rule of law __2__ justices behave like politicians是插入的状语从句或方式状语,完整结构为否定动词+宾语+条件/方式状语从句。__1__和__2__处为考点填空位置,暗示动词如undermine和if。句子通过as...方式连接,强调行为与合法性的直接关联。插入成分少,主要靠连接词和从句嵌入复杂信息。特殊句式包括条件假设式,考生易混淆的是从句位置和时态一致性。这类句子考查对法律文本中因果逻辑的把握,以及识别空白处动词和从句类型的能力。
译文最高法院不能通过某种方式使其合法性作为法治的守护者受到损害,如果法官像政客一样行事。

2At the very least, the court should make itself __6__ to the code of conduct that __7__ to the rest of the federal judiciary.
主干主语:the court;谓语:should make;宾语:itself __6__ to the code of conduct。
结构这是一个复杂句子,主干为At the very least + the court should make itself __6__ to the code of conduct。that __7__ to the rest of the federal judiciary是定语从句修饰code of conduct,引导词that指代conduct,说明其适用于联邦司法体系。__6__处为make oneself + 介词短语,__7__为apply或extend。句子包含插入成分like词组,但核心是动词短语和从句嵌套。特殊句式包括情态动词should的委婉建议和被动表达make oneself。考生易错的是定语从句的先行词识别和动词搭配(如make subject + to + infinitive)。这种结构在法律文件中常见,测试对语篇连贯性和专业术语的理解。
译文至少,法院应该让自己符合适用于联邦司法体系的职业行为准则。
考点make oneself + 介词短语的表达 · that引导的定语从句的先行词与指代关系

结构这是一个并列结构句,主干为The framers envisioned law __10__ having authority apart from politics。__10__处为to或as,完整为envisioned law as/to have...,宾语是law,表语是having authority apart from politics。句子用现在完成时having修饰law,强调一种状态。特殊句式包括动词后跟动名词作宾补,考生易混淆的是envision的宾语补语结构。插入成分少,主要靠动名词短语作表语。法律语境中这种句子测试对历史背景和宪法精神的把握,以及动词后复合宾语的用法。
译文宪法制定者设想法律应该独立于政治之外拥有权威。
考点envision后接动名词短语作宾语补语 · apart from...的独立于...之外的固定搭配

译文当法院处理社会政策决定时,它所阐明的法律不可避免地带有政治色彩——这也是为什么沿意识形态划分的决定如此容易被视为不公正的。
