Question

这句英语句子不明白

Shielded by third--party payers from the cost of our care,we demand.........译文为：由于医疗费用由第三方支付，我们便要求....
Shielded 是引申为医疗费用吗？句子应该怎么分析？是：our care cost ,Shielded, by third--party payers,so we demand..... 可以这样理解吗？

Answer 1

对 shielded的主体是the cost
但shield在这里是保轮滚障的意思。

Shielded by third-party payers from the cost of our care, we demand everything that can possibly be done for us, even if it's useless.

由于我们蚂桐念受到第三付款人（指纳税人）的保护免交保健费用，所以我们要求可能为我们所做到的一切，即使这样做闷困是徒劳的。
