: the bold policy declaration with which the statute opens
: => the statute opens with the bold policy declaration
: 也就是說the statute開頭宣告了一段 bold policy declaration
: 所以是...than the bold policy declaration might otherwise have indicated
: 而might otherwise have indicated則是意指這段宣言指出跟前面所提到
: "congressional commitment to cross-sectional ideal was more qualified"不同(或
: 相反)的情況 例如 congressional commitment to cross-sectional ideal was less
: qualified or something else would be more qualified...(因為沒有更多的上下文所
: 以不知道這個宣言指出什麼)
: 所以你的翻譯我會修正為:
: 立法歷程顯示國會致力於cross-sectional ideal，相較此法條開頭闡述的大膽政策宣言所
: 另指之情形而言更為qualified(?)
: 翻譯得沒有很好 但我已盡力表達我對這句子的解讀了 希望不會太複雜orz
: 另外cross-sectional ideal是說a concept of producing a jury that best represents

: 以上供你參考 歡迎指教
補充一下lintz大的解釋
legislative history = 立法歷程 ok
congressional commitment to X = 國會對 X 的支持
cross-sectional ideal 沒有 context 翻不出來
qualified 在此指「保守」
bold policy declaration = 大膽的政策宣言
This legislative history shows that congressional commitment to the
cross-sectional ideal was more qualified than the bold policy declaration
with which the statute opens might otherwise have indicated.
This legislative history shows = 從立法歷程來看
congressional commitment to the cross-sectional ideal was [more] qualified =
國會對 cross-sectional ideal 持保守支持態度 (重點在 qualified = 保守)
more...than 是比較詞，比較的是 qualified commitment vs. bold declaration
the bold policy declaration with which the statute opens = 法案開頭的大膽宣言
整句：
立法歷程顯示，國會對 cross-sectional ideal 的支持程度，其實並不像該法案起頭
的宣言一樣大膽，反而較為保守。
或者：
相較該法案起頭的大膽宣言，立法歷程顯示國會對 cross-sectional ideal 的支持
程度其實是較保守的。
