1. She arrived in a wheelchair, unable to walk from metastatic fractures, wearing a stylish bandanna. 她是坐着轮椅来的，她由于转移性骨折而不能行走，戴着时尚的头巾。
2. Most of the world's potable water—freshwater suitable for drinking—is accounted for by groundwater, which is stored in the pores and fractures in rocks. 世界上大部分的饮用水——适合饮用的淡水——是由地下水提供的，它储存在岩石的孔隙和裂缝中。
3. The skeleton of a 40- or 50-year-old Nabatean warrior, buried 2,000 years ago in the Negev Desert, Israel, had multiple healed fractures to the skull, the left arm, and the ribs. 2000年前，一名40岁或50岁的纳巴提亚战士被埋在以色列内盖夫沙漠，他的头骨、左臂和肋骨都有多处愈合的骨折。
4. Now, though, a novel type of steel has been developed that resists fractures at much lower temperatures, while retaining its strength and toughness—without the need for expensive additives. 然而现在，一种新型的钢已经被开发出来，它可以在更低的温度下抵抗断裂，同时保持其强度和韧性，而不需要昂贵的添加剂。
5. The water is usually naturally occurring groundwater that seeps down along fractures in the rock; less typically, the water is artificially introduced by being pumped down from the surface. 水通常是自然形成的地下水，沿着岩石的裂缝渗出；不那么典型的是，水是通过从地表抽水而人工引入的。
