We are engineering new anticancer therapeutics, to limit toxicity and to reduce drug resistance.

我们正在设计新的抗癌疗法，以限制毒性并降低耐药性。

Back in the 1930s, streamliners like this Chrysler Airflow used this sleek design to reduce wind resistance.

早在 1930 年代，像克莱斯勒 Airflow 这样的流线型汽车就使用这种圆滑的设计来降低风阻。

One good way to save fuel is to reduce rolling resistance, which is caused, in part, by a vehicle's weight repeatedly squashing its tyres.

节油的一个妙招便是减少滚动阻力，滚动阻力部分源于车辆对轮胎的持续挤压。

The keels, finlets, and corselet help direct the flow of water over the body surface in such as way as to reduce resistance (see the figure).

鱼的背鳍, 腹鳍, 胸鳍帮助（鱼儿）对准水流方向, 以这种方式来减少水对鱼身的阻力。

These are some of the complications of uncontrolled diabetes, which is why it's so important to diagnose and control diabetes through a healthy lifestyle, medications to reduce insulin resistance and even insulin therapy if beta cells have been exhausted.

这些是糖尿病在未加控制情况下的并发症，也是为何此病需要诊断、控制的原因；患者可通过健康的生活方式、使用药物控制胰岛素抵抗，甚至胰岛素治疗来缓解β细胞疲劳。
