But the ratio is even greater among active women, affecting up to 80 percent of female endurance athletes.

These precautions can make a great difference in saving lives and preventing the loss of homes. Education concerning how to survive an earthquake should be a major emphasis for all government programs and earthquake-related research projects.无论你是多么富有经验的演说家，无论你做了多么充分的准备，你都很难在这样嘈杂的招待会上发表演讲。(no matter how) No matter how experienced a speaker you are, and how well you have prepared your speech, you will have difficulty making a speech at such a noisy reception. 就像吉米妹妹的朋友都关心吉米一样，吉米也关心他们。(just as) Just as all his sisters friends cared about him, Jimmy cared about them. 汽车生产商在新车的几处都印有汽车识别号码，以便帮助找回被盗的车辆。(track down) Car manufacturers stamp a vehicle identification number at several places on new cars to help track down stolen vehicles.老师回来时你敢告我状的话，我就不再和你说话了。(tell on) If you dare tell on me when the teacher gets back I wont say a word to you any more. 有些老年人愿意独自过日子，但大多数老人选择和儿女一起生活。(on ones own) Some elderly people prefer to live on their own while the great majority choose to live with their children. 现在需要面对的事情是：如何筹集创建公司所需的资金。(reckon with) Here is something that needs to be reckoned with: How to get the necessary finances to establish the company.
