②每日長難句
It\u0027s an outrage that any American\u0027s life expectancy should be shortened simply because the company they worked for went bankrupt and ended health-care coverage.
③長難句解析
拆解：①本句是個複雜的複合句：首先，句首的 it 是引語部分的形式主語，真正的主語是 that 引導的從句；其次，主語從句本身也是複合句，含有一個 because引導的原因狀語從句。②在這個狀語從句中，they worked for 是個定語從句，修飾主語 the company ；從句含兩個並列的謂語：went (bankrupt)和 ended.... 兩者用 and 並列連接。
譯文：如果僅僅因為自己所在公司破產、不能繼續支付醫療保健費用，就使得美國人壽命縮短，這簡直令人發指。
