【回答】您好：

老师晚上好！请问第三课Ⅲ JUDICIAL REVIEW最后一段的“As a result ,some long-standing Supreme Court decisions have been changed.”

“long-standing ”在此是作什么意义理解的？

答复：long-standing，长期存在的。本句的意思是：“最后，最高法院一些长期以来的决定也作出了更正。”

“What once was ruled constitutional thereafter is declared unconstitutional.”

“ruled constitutional ”在此是何意？

答复：rule是“被认定为”的意思，constitutional是“合宪的”，全句的意思是:“那些曾经被认定为合宪的在那之后被宣布为违宪。”
