語法點(diǎn)：時(shí)間狀語、原因狀語;賓語從句;

語法分析：本句的主干部分是主謂賓，為States will be able to force people to pay sales tax. 譯為“各州將有權(quán)強(qiáng)制更多的人為在線購(gòu)物支付銷售稅”，包含一個(gè)force sb to do sth 的結(jié)構(gòu); 后面跟著由when引導(dǎo)的時(shí)間狀語從句“when they make online purchases”，后面緊跟“under a Supreme Court decision Thursday”此介詞短語作原因狀語，整體理解時(shí)可將狀語提前：為“根據(jù)最高法院周四的裁定，各州將有權(quán)強(qiáng)制更多的人為在線購(gòu)物支付銷售稅?！北揪渥詈笥衪hat引導(dǎo)的定語從句用來修飾前面的名詞詞組sales tax ;從句過長(zhǎng)，翻譯時(shí)順義即可，定語從句中有一處轉(zhuǎn)折，可譯為“它會(huì)讓消費(fèi)者的錢包癟下去，但是對(duì)于各州而言使財(cái)政的一大勝利?！?/p>

參考譯文： 根據(jù)最高法院周四的裁定，各州將有權(quán)強(qiáng)制更多的人為在線購(gòu)物支付銷售稅，這會(huì)讓消費(fèi)者的錢包癟下去，但是對(duì)于各州而言使財(cái)政的一大勝利。
