It bothers Juan that...., It surprises Mara that...
 
What is the normal translation for:

It bothers Juan that we're here.
It surprises Mara that he's going.

molestarle a alguien que ... (subjunctive clause)
sorprenderle a alguien que ... (subjunctive clause)

Le molesta a Juan que estemos.
Le sorprende a María que él vaya.

Is that a common construction in English?

also¨:
A Juan le molesta que fumes en el ascensor.
A Marta le sorprendió mucho tu visita.
In fact this sounds more natural.
