1. DEMONSTRATIVE ADJECTIVE

1) [+ objects/people]

In the past the standard spelling for [ese/esa] and [aquel/aquella] used as pronouns (as when they are used to translate [that one]) was with an accent ([ése/ésa] and [aquél/aquélla]). Nowadays the [Real Academia Española] advises that the accented forms are only required where there might otherwise be confusion with the adjectives [este/esta] and [aquel/aquella].
there's little to choose between this model and that one — no hay mucho que elegir entre este modelo y aquel

2.

Note that in the past the standard spelling for the masculine and feminine pronouns was with an accent (ése/ésa and aquél/aquélla). Nowadays the Real Academia Española advises that the accented forms are only required where there might otherwise be confusion with the adjectives ese/esa and aquel/aquella. Neuter pronouns never carry an accent. (nearer) ese m, esa f, ése m, ésa f, eso (neuter) ; (more remote) aquel(la) m / f, aquél(la) m / f, aquello (neuter)

•..., not that I want to, of course —..., no es que yo quiera, por supuesto

If the that clause is the subject of another verb it is usual to translate that as el que rather than que especially if it starts the sentence:
that he did not know surprised me — (el) que no lo supiera me extrañó, me extrañó (el) que no lo supiera
In these cases the verb which follows will be in the subjunctive:
that he refuses is natural — (el) que rehúse es natural

would

17 much ado about nothing

много шума из ничего [выражение, популярное во времена Шекспира и взятое им в качестве названия одной из своих комедий]

When you've been here a few years and you go back to an ordinary life, you feel a bit out of it, you know... It all seems an awful rush. Much ado about nothing, that's what it is. (W. S. Maugham, ‘Creatures of Circumstance’, ‘Sanatorium’) — Вот поживете в санатории несколько лет, а потом захотите вернуться к обычной жизни - увидите, как трудно снова войти в колею... Везде какая-то безумная спешка. Много шуму из ничего - вот что это такое.
