sort out sth.中等

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.

法学教授奥林·科尔将21世纪数字信息的爆炸式增长和易获取性，与20世纪汽车成为几乎必不可少的生活必需品相提并论：当年大法官们必须为乘用车这一新的私人领域制定新规则；如今他们必须理清第四修正案如何适用于数字信息。
