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

【分析】复合句。主句主干为 justices acted。in several instances 和 in ways作状语， that 引导定语从句修饰 ways。

【译文】然而，在一些情况下，法官的行为方式削弱了法院保持中立且公正的名声。

【临摹】不同于硅谷的那些企业，印度这些公司在思路上可能更有创意。

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

【分析】复合句，主句为 That kind of activity makes it less likely, it 是形式宾语，真正的宾语是 that 引导的名词性从句。

【译文】这类行为使得法院的裁定被认为是公正判决的可能性有所下降。

【词法拓展】
it 作形式宾语放在动词与宾语补足语之间，指代不定式、动名词、从句等，此时，it 无实际意义。这种情况只能用于能以名词或形容词作宾语补足语的动词后面，如feel, consider, find, believe, make, take, imagine, suppose, think, deem, regard, count 等。
