(本文作者为中公考研辅导名师——张玉环) 
  本文选自2014年The Washington Post上一篇名为Supreme Court Should Begin Laying Out Privacy Protections for Smartphones的文章,主要讨论了随着当今科技的发展,美国最高法院应该针对智能手机中的个人资料及时进行相关立法,合理保护这些个人隐私。作为2015年考研英语试卷的第二篇阅读,全文中在长难句方面,句子难度不小,需要对长难句语法有扎实的掌握。下面中公考研英语老师就其中的典型例句进行分析:
  【典型例句1】:The Supreme Court will now consider whether police can search the contents of a mobile phone without a warrant if the phone is on or around a person during an arrest.
  【例句解析】:本句主干为The Supreme Court will now consider whether police can search the contents,其中包含一个whether引导的宾语从句。of a mobile phone作为后置定语,修饰the contents。without a warrant作为状语,修饰宾语从句。if the phone is on or around a person during an arrest是if引导的条件状语从句,修饰宾语从句;其中or连接on和around a person两个并列的表语。
  【难点点拨】:The Supreme Court:联邦最高法院;warrant:正当理由;
  【例句释义】:美国联邦最高法院现在正在考虑,如果在关押期间某个人的手机恰好开着或者在身边,那么警察是否能够毫无理由地搜查手机中的内容。
  【典型例句2】:California has asked the justices to refrain from a sweeping ruling, particularly one that upsets the old assumptions that authorities may search through the possessions of suspects at the time of their arrest.
  【例句解析】: 本句主干为California has asked the justices to refrain from a sweeping ruling。particularly one是名词作同位语,解释a sweeping ruling。that upsets the old assumptions是that引导的定语从句,修饰one。that authorities may search through the possessions of suspects at the time of their arrest是that引导的同位语从句,解释the old assumptions。
  【难点点拨】:refrain:克制,避免;sweeping:全面的,彻底的;ruling:裁决;upset:搅乱;推翻;authorities:当局,官方;
  【例句释义】:曾有设想认为,在疑犯关押期间当局有权搜查他们的所有物。现在加利福尼亚州已经请求法官们避免做出某个全面彻底的裁决,尤其是那些会推翻这个设想的裁决。
  【典型例句3】:Enough of the implications are discernable, even obvious, so that the justice can and should provide updated guidelines to police, lawyers and defendants.
  【例句解析】:本句主干为Enough of the implications are discernable, even obvious。so that the justice can and should provide updated guidelines to police, lawyers and defendants是由so that引导的结果状语从句,修饰主干。
  【难点点拨】:implication:可能的结果,影响;discernable:可辨别的,能被观察到的;defendant:被告;
  【例句释义】:许多影响都是可以被看到的,甚至是明显的,因此法官就能够、也应该为警察、律师和被告提供及时的法律指导。
  【典型例句4】:They should start by discarding California’s lame argument that exploring the contents of a smartphone- a vast storehouse of digital information is similar to say, going through a suspect’s purse.
  【例句解析】:本句主干是They should start。by discarding California’s lame argument作为方式状语修饰主干。that exploring the contents of a smartphone is similar to going through a suspect’s purse是that引导的同位语从句,解释California’s lame argument。- a vast storehouse of digital information作为同位语,解释a smartphone。Say作为插入语,表示举例,意思是“比如说”。
  【难点点拨】:discard:丢弃,扔掉;lame:蹩脚的,无说服力的;go through:仔细检查;
  【例句释义】:加州认为,搜查智能手机——一个强大的个人数据储存库——的内容与检查犯人的钱包类似。法官们不需理会加州的这一荒谬说法而开始(为警察、律师和被告提供及时的法律指导)。
  【典型例句5】:Orin Kerr, a law professor, compares the explosion and accessibility of digital information in the 21st century with the establishment of automobile use as a digital necessity of life in the 20th: The justices had to specify novel rules for the new personal domain of the passenger car then; they must sort out how the Fourth Amendment applies to digital information now.
  【例句解析】:本句主干为 Orin Kerr compares the explosion and accessibility with the establishment. a law professor 作为同位语,解释Orin Kerr的身份。of digital information in the 21st century作为后置定语,修饰explosion 和 accessibility。of automobile use as a digital necessity of life in the 20th作为后置定语,修饰establishment。The justices had to specify novel rules for the new personal domain of the passenger car then; they must sort out how the Fourth Amendment applies to digital information now是由分号连接的并列句,解释前面的句子;其中how the Fourth Amendment applies to digital information是由how引导的宾语从句。
  【难点点拨】:accessibility:接近,使用,获得;automobile:汽车;a digital necessity of life:生活中的数码必需品;novel:新颖的;domain:领域;passenger car:客车,小轿车;sort out:解决;the Fourth Amendment:第四修正案;
  【例句释义】:法学教授奥林·科尔将21世纪数据信息的激增和使用与20世纪汽车用作生活必需品的确定进行了比较:当时法官们不得不为轿车中的新私人领域制定新条例;现在他们也必须解决《第四修正案》如何应用于数据信息的问题。
  总之,由于本文中对于定语后置、宾语从句、状语、并列句、标点符号等知识点考查较多,因此对此大家课下需要多多复习。此外,如果时间充足的话,可以多读一些外国核心期刊文章,如《华盛顿邮报》、《经济学人》等,积累英语国家新闻中常用到的表达。
