1. Yet, in several instances, justices acted in ways that weaken the court's reputation for being independent and impartial.

【分析】復合句。主句主干為 justices acted。in several instances 和 in ways作狀語， that 引導定語從句修飾 ways。

【譯文】然而，在一些情況下，法官的行為方式削弱了法院保持中立且公正的名聲。

【臨摹】不同于硅谷的那些企業，印度這些公司在思路上可能更有創意。

2. That kind of activity makes it less likely that the court's decisions will be accepted as impartial judgements.

【分析】復合句，主句為 That kind of activity makes it less likely, it 是形式賓語，真正的賓語是 that 引導的名詞性從句。

【譯文】這類行為使得法院的裁定被認為是公正判決的可能性有所下降。

【詞法拓展】
it 作形式賓語放在動詞與賓語補足語之間，指代不定式、動名詞、從句等，此時，it 無實際意義。這種情況只能用于能以名詞或形容詞作賓語補足語的動詞后面，如feel, consider, find, believe, make, take, imagine, suppose, think, deem, regard, count 等。
