回顾

California has asked the justices to refrain from a sweeping ruling, particularly one that upsets the old assumption that authorities may search through the possessions of suspects at the time of their arrest.

生词

• refrain v. 抑制，节制，克制
• sweeping adj. 彻底的；广泛的；全面的
• upset v. 打乱，扰乱；推翻
• assumption n. 假定，假设
• authority n. 当局，官方
• search through… 搜查
• possession n. 财产，所有物
• suspect n. 嫌疑犯
• at the time of one’s arrest  在逮捕某人时

解析

1. 找谓语动词：has asked/upsets/may search
2. 断开：that/that
   1. 【主句】句1：California has asked the justices to refrain from a sweeping ruling, particularly one
   2. 【定从】句2：that upsets the old assumption
   3. 【同位】句3：that authorities may search through the possessions of suspects at the time of their arrest.
3. 重点：名词+that从句有两种可能性：一种是定语从句，修饰限定名词的范围，可以往前翻译为“……样的（名词）”；另一种是同位语从句，解释说明名词的含义，顺着往下翻译。区别这两种，可以通过that是否作成分来判断，如下：
   1. 第二个that从句中，that不作成分，所以是同位语从句。
   2. 第一个that从句中，that作成分（主语），所以是定语从句。
4. 翻译：加州已请求大法官们（克制住）不要做出全面性裁定，尤其是不要破坏“执法当局在实施逮捕时可搜查嫌疑人财物”这一古老假定。
