Difficult Sentences:
(Para,1)Perhaps you have life insurance form your company that will pay off,…
也许你公司给你购买了人寿保险，将来会获得赔付。
The relative clause that will pay off is a restrictive clause modifying life insurance,It means,the company will cover the payment to the insurance company so that the insured will be able to get the benefits from the insurance company when he or she dies.”
Example,His debt will pay off in this month.
(Para,1) Insurers and employers are quietly adopting new rules that make it harder for your family members to collect money.
保险公司和老板们正在不声不响地采用一些使你的家人更难拿到赔付金的新规定。
In this sentence,it is a formal subject while the actual object is the infinitive phrase to collect with for introducing its logical subject.
Example,The government will issue a new regulation that prohibits smoking in public.
(Para,2) While he was at home on sick leave,his company switched to a new life insurance plan,which requires employees to work one day at least under the plan to qualify for its benefits.
当他病休在家时，他的公司突然采用了一个新的人寿保险方案，要求雇员在此方案下至少工作一天才有资格享受人寿保险的待遇。
In this sentence,“switch” means,change”; the prepositional phrase under the plan means,being covered by the plan”
Example,Then he switched to a series of questions,which were none of his business.
(Para,2) Thomas couldn’t get to know the document that spelled out the policy’s provisions because they weren’t yet available,according to an e-mail he kept.
托马斯却无从得知阐明该保单规定的文件，据他保留的一封电子邮件所说，这是因为还没有这些条款。
In this sentence,the relative clauses are restrictive relative clauses.
Example,You must read through the policy that specified some,ifs” and,buts” when you are insured.
(Para,5)He was so concerned that everything be handled properly that he even gave instructions o where the premiums should be sent in case he was in a coma,his widow,Marry,said.
托马斯的遗孀玛丽说，他非常注意把每件事情办得有条不紊，甚至对他万一昏迷不醒时，保险费应寄往何处都交代了。
the first that-clause serves as the complement of the adjective concerned,further explaining what is being concerned about; be in that everything be handled properly is in present subjunctive mood to express intention,surprise,doubt,worry,etc,The second that forms a compound conjunction with so (so…that),showing the degree of being concerned,The prepositional phrase in case is used as a conjunction introducing the adverbial clause in case he was in a coma.
Example,I was surprised that he should feel lonely.
(Para,5)It wasn’t until 10 months after Thomas died that the company finally sent out a two-page pamphlet that mentioned the one-day work rule needed to be eligible for insurance.
知道托马斯死去10个月后公司才最终发出了一个2页纸的小册子，里面提到为取得保险资格必需的“工作一天“的规定。
It was not until… that… is a useful emphatic sentence pattern,The emphasized part in this sentence is 10 months after Thomas died,
Example,It was not until 5 o’clock that he was informed of the decision that require him to leave for London.
(Para,5)It is the company that collects the premiums,files claims and makes sure its employees know the rules.
收缴保费、提出索赔和确保其雇员都了解相关规定是公司的责任。
The sentence pattern it is…that… is used to emphasize the company,In the that-clause,that is the subject,which takes three parallel predicates,collects…files…and makes sure…
Example,It is the army that keeps the nation in order and safeguards the peace.
(Para,7)I recommend to employers that they inform employees of any benefit changes as soon as possible—and not only for legal reasons but to maintain good relations with employees.”.
我建议雇主们对保险赔偿金的任何修改都要尽快通知雇员—这不仅是出于法律考虑，也是为了与员工保持良好的关系。
the first that-clause serves as the complement of the adjective concerned,further explaining what is being concerned about; be in that everything be handled properly is in present subjunctive mood to express intention,surprise,doubt,worry,etc,The second that forms a compound conjunction with so (so…that),showing the degree of being concerned,The prepositional phrase in case is used as a conjunction introducing the adverbial clause in case he was in a coma.

Difficult Sentences:
(Para,1)Perhaps you have life insurance form your company that will pay off,…
也许你公司给你购买了人寿保险，将来会获得赔付。
The relative clause that will pay off is a restrictive clause modifying life insurance,It means,the company will cover the payment to the insurance company so that the insured will be able to get the benefits from the insurance company when he or she dies.”
Example,His debt will pay off in this month.
(Para,1) Insurers and employers are quietly adopting new rules that make it harder for your family members to collect money.
保险公司和老板们正在不声不响地采用一些使你的家人更难拿到赔付金的新规定。
In this sentence,it is a formal subject while the actual object is the infinitive phrase to collect with for introducing its logical subject.
Example,The government will issue a new regulation that prohibits smoking in public.
(Para,2) While he was at home on sick leave,his company switched to a new life insurance plan,which requires employees to work one day at least under the plan to qualify for its benefits.
当他病休在家时，他的公司突然采用了一个新的人寿保险方案，要求雇员在此方案下至少工作一天才有资格享受人寿保险的待遇。
In this sentence,“switch” means,change”; the prepositional phrase under the plan means,being covered by the plan”
Example,Then he switched to a series of questions,which were none of his business.
(Para,2) Thomas couldn’t get to know the document that spelled out the policy’s provisions because they weren’t yet available,according to an e-mail he kept.
托马斯却无从得知阐明该保单规定的文件，据他保留的一封电子邮件所说，这是因为还没有这些条款。

托马斯的遗孀玛丽说，他非常注意把每件事情办得有条不紊，甚至对他万一昏迷不醒时，保险费应寄往何处都交代了。
the first that-clause serves as the complement of the adjective concerned,further explaining what is being concerned about; be in that everything be handled properly is in present subjunctive mood to express intention,surprise,doubt,worry,etc,The second that forms a compound conjunction with so (so…that),showing the degree of being concerned,The prepositional phrase in case is used as a conjunction introducing the adverbial clause in case he was in a coma.
Example,I was surprised that he should feel lonely.
(Para,5)It wasn’t until 10 months after Thomas died that the company finally sent out a two-page pamphlet that mentioned the one-day work rule needed to be eligible for insurance.
知道托马斯死去10个月后公司才最终发出了一个2页纸的小册子，里面提到为取得保险资格必需的“工作一天“的规定。
It was not until… that… is a useful emphatic sentence pattern,The emphasized part in this sentence is 10 months after Thomas died,
Example,It was not until 5 o’clock that he was informed of the decision that require him to leave for London.
(Para,5)It is the company that collects the premiums,files claims and makes sure its employees know the rules.
收缴保费、提出索赔和确保其雇员都了解相关规定是公司的责任。
The sentence pattern it is…that… is used to emphasize the company,In the that-clause,that is the subject,which takes three parallel predicates,collects…files…and makes sure…
