【Step 2】断句
The Federal Circuit issued an unusual order stating [that the case would be heard by all 12 of the court’s judges, rather than a typical panel of three], and [that one issue <it wants to evaluate> is <whether it should “reconsider” its State Street Bank ruling>].
解析：本句包含4个从句：1.两个that引导的宾语从句：that...and that...；2.一个省略连接词的定语从句；3.一个whether引导的表语从句。
2个that引导的宾语从句：
...stating [that the case would be heard by all 12 of the court’s judges, rather than a typical panel of three], and [that one issue <...> is <...>].
判断方法：1.位置：在动词|介词后<动词stating>。
1个省略连接词的定语从句：
...one issue <it wants to evaluate>...
判断方法：1.位置：在名词|代词后；2.从句不完整<从句动词evaluate缺宾语：在定语从句中，当关系代词指代先行词在从句中作宾语时可省略>。
常见的可省略连接词的从句有两个：
1.宾语从句——位置：在动词|介词后；
2.定语从句——位置：在名词|代词后；
所以，本句只要看位置，就可以迅速判断是定语从句。
1个whether引导的从句：
...is<whether it should “reconsider” its State Street Bank ruling>
判断方法：1.位置：在系动词后<is>。

The Federal Circuit issued an unusual order stating [that the case would be heard by all 12 of the court’s judges, rather than a typical panel of three], and [that one issue <it wants to evaluate> is <whether it should “reconsider” its State Street Bank ruling>].
主句：
英文：The Federal Circuit issued an unusual order// stating [that...], and [that...].中文：联邦巡回法院发布了一项不同寻常的指令，// 其宣称...
翻译解释：非谓语短语过长，因此考虑在此处切开，让其单独成句。
2个that引导的宾语从句：
英文：...stating [that the case would be heard by all 12 of the court’s judges, rather than a typical panel of three], and [that one issue <...> is <...>].
中文：该案件将被法院的全体12位法官听，而不是被典型的三人组法官听，并且一个问题是...
改译：此案将由该法院全体12名法官听审，而不是典型的三人组听审，并且一个问题是...
翻译解释：此处涉及被动的翻译：1.根据句意，“被法官听”——即听审，所以hear应译为“听审”；2.被动的处理：找“被”的替代词：“由”。
1个省略连接词的定语从句：
英文：...one issue <it wants to evaluate>...
中文：它想评估的一个问题
翻译解释：定语从句词数小于等于8个词，采取前置译法，即译为“...的”。
1个whether引导的从句：
英文：...is <whether it should “reconsider” its State Street Bank ruling>
中文：是否它应该“重新考虑”它的道富银行案裁决。
联邦巡回法院发布了一项不同寻常的指令，其宣称此案将由该法院全体12名法官听审，而不是典型的三人组听审，并且它想评估的一个问题是，是否它应该“重新考虑”它的道富银行案裁决。
终译：联邦巡回法院发布了一项不同寻常的指令，宣称此案将由该法院全体12名法官听审，而不是典型的三人组听审，并且宣称法院想要评估一个问题，即是否需要“重新审议”对道富银行案的裁决。
