That because the Supreme Court has limited time and people to do the work, and it wants to use them to rule on only the most important cases.
那是因為最高法院的時間和人員都很有限，而且它希望把有限的資源都用在最重要的案件的判決上。
In particular, it wants to rule on cases that are related to how federal laws are interpreted (or understood), especially when they are related to the U.S. Constitution (or the country's most important legal document).
特別地，它想審理那些涉及聯邦法律詮釋的案件，尤其是當它們牽扯到美國憲法（或這個國家最重要的法律文件）的時候。
The Supreme Court's cases are very far-reaching, meaning that they have a lot of influence in American culture and law.
最高法院審理的案件對美國的文化和法律有著深遠的影響。
Some of their cases are well known to most Americans.
有些案件幾乎是家喻戶曉了。
For example, one famous case known as Brown v. Board of Education made it illegal to have separate schools for white students and black students.
例如，一個名為“布朗訴教育委員會”的著名案件，它將隔離白人學生和黑人學生的學校定為違法。
Another famous case known as Roe v. Wade made abortions (the practice of ending a pregnancy so the baby is never born) legal.
另一個名為“羅伊訴韋德”的著名案件使墮胎（結束妊娠的實踐，這樣寶寶就不會被生下來）合法化。
The Supreme Court meets in the Supreme Court Building in the center of Washington, DC.
最高法院設立在華盛頓特區中心的最高法院大樓里。
The building is sometimes called the "Temple of Justice" where a temple is a holy place that people build for their gods.
這棟建筑有時被稱為“正義之殿”，神殿是人們為他們的天神建造的圣地。
