leave sb with sth 造成，使留下为……

语法点：时间状语、原因状语;宾语从句;

语法分析：本句的主干部分是主谓宾，为States will be able to force people to pay sales tax. 译为“各州将有权强制更多的人为在线购物支付销售税”，包含一个force sb to do sth 的结构; 后面跟着由when引导的时间状语从句“when they make online purchases”，后面紧跟“under a Supreme Court decision Thursday”此介词短语作原因状语，整体理解时可将状语提前：为“根据最高法院周四的裁定，各州将有权强制更多的人为在线购物支付销售税。”本句最后有that引导的定语从句用来修饰前面的名词词组sales tax ;从句过长，翻译时顺义即可，定语从句中有一处转折，可译为“它会让消费者的钱包瘪下去，但是对于各州而言使财政的一大胜利。”

参考译文： 根据最高法院周四的裁定，各州将有权强制更多的人为在线购物支付销售税，这会让消费者的钱包瘪下去，但是对于各州而言使财政的一大胜利。
