第二段
California has asked the justices to refrain from a sweeping ruling particularly one thatupsets the old assumption that authorities may search through the possessions ofsuspectsat the time of their arrest. It is hard, the state argues, for judges to assess theimplications of new and rapidly changing technologies.

本段翻译
加州已要求法官们不要做全面性的裁定，特别是不要破坏执法当局实施逮捕时可以搜查嫌疑人私人财产的古老假设。加州认为，对于法官而言，很难评估快速变化的新技术可能带来的影响。

如果最高法院听从了加州的建议，那就太鲁莽了。足够多的影响可以辨别，甚至很明显，因此，法官能够也应该提供更新的指导方法警、律师和被告。
第四段
They should start by discarding California’s lame argument that exploring the contents of a smart phone — a vast storehouse of digital information — is similar to, say, going through a suspect’s purse. The court has ruled that police don’t violate the FourthAmendment when they sift through the wallet or pocketbook of an arrestee without a warrant. But exploring one’s smart phone is more like entering his or her home. A smart phone may contain an arrestee’s reading history, financial history, medical history and comprehensive records of recent correspondence. The development of “cloud computing,” meanwhile, has made that exploration so much the easier.
单词&词组
discard [ˈdɪskɑːd] v.抛弃，打出（无用的牌）
violate [ˈvaɪəleɪt] v.违背
lame [leɪm] adj.蹩脚的，瘸的
amendment [əˈmendmənt] （文件、法案）修改
arrestee [əres'tiː] n.被捕者
correspondence [ˌkɔːrəˈspɑːndəns] n.来往信件
cloud computing（云计算）
本段翻译
他们首先应该摒弃加州提出的关于翻看嫌疑人只智能手机内容中庞大数据信息库的蹩脚观点，这相当于翻查嫌疑人的钱包。最高法院已经裁定，当警察在没有搜查令的情况下搜查被捕者的钱包或钱带并不违违反先发第四修正案。但是查看一个人的智能手机，更像是进入他或是她的家。智能手机里可能存有被捕者的阅读记录、病历记录以及近期通信往来的详细记录。于此同时，“云计算”的发展已经使得那种搜查大为容易。
第五段
Americans should take steps to protect their digital privacy. But keeping sensitive information on these devices is increasingly a requirement of normal life. Citizens still have a right to expect private documents to remain private and protected by the Constitution’s prohibition on unreasonable searches.
单词&词组
privacy [ˈpraɪvəsi] n.隐私
device [dɪˈvaɪs] n.装置，设备
prohibition [ˌproʊɪˈbɪʃn] n.禁令
take steps to do（采取措施做某事）
本段翻译
美国人应该采取措施保护他们的数字隐私，但是把敏感信息保存在这些设备上正日益成为正常生活的一种需要。公民依然有权要求私人文件不公开和宪法禁止无理由搜查的保护。
第6段
As so often is the case, stating that principle doesn’t ease the challenge of line-drawing. In many cases, it would not be overly burdensome for authorities to obtain a warrant to search through phone contents. They could still invalidate Fourth Amendment protections when facing severe, urgent circumstances, and they could take reasonable measures to ensure that phone data are not erased or altered while a warrant is warrant. The court, though, may want to allow room for police to cite situations where they are entitled tomore freedom.
单词&词组
authority [əˈθɔːrəti] n.权威，权利
burdensome [ˈbɜːrdnsəm] adj.繁重的，麻烦的
invalidate [ɪnˈvælɪdeɪt] v.使无效
urgent [ˈɜːrdʒənt] adj.紧急的
erase [ɪˈreɪs] v.擦掉
alter [ˈɔːltər] v.更改
cite [saɪt] v.引用
As so often is the case（这是常有的事）
allow room for（为...留有余地）
be entitled to（有权/资格）
本段翻译
申明原则不能减轻界限规定的挑战，这是常有的事。很多情况下，当局获得搜查令再搜查手机信息也不会太麻烦。他们还可能面临严峻、紧急情况时越过第四修正案的保护条例；他们也可以在等待搜查令时采取合理措施以保证手机数据不被删除或是更改。尽管如此，最高法院或许还想要为警方引证有权行使更多自主行为的情况留下空间。
第七段
But the justices should not swallow California’s argument whole. New, disruptivetechnology sometimes demands novel applications of the Constitution’s protections. Orin Kerr, a law professor, compares the explosion and accessibility of digital information in the 21st century with the establishment of automobile use as a virtual necessity of life in the 20th: The justices had to specify novel rules for the new personal domain of the passenger car then; they must sort out how the Fourth Amendment applies to digital information now.

swallow [ˈswɑːloʊ] v.吞；[僻义] v.忍受，轻信

automobile [ˈɔːtəməbiːl] n.汽车
virtual [ˈvɜːrtʃuəl] adj.实际上的
specify [ˈspesɪfaɪ] v.具体说明
domain [doʊˈmeɪn] n.领域，范畴
compare...with（把...和...作比较）
本段翻译
但是法官们不应该全盘接受加州的观点。新的破坏性技术有时需要宪法保护范围的新颖应用。法学教授XX把21世纪数字信息爆炸及其可获取性与20世纪汽车确立为生活必需品相比较：当时法官们不得不为小轿车这一新兴私人领域明确新规；现在他们也必须解决第四修正案如何适用于数字信息的问题。
