Lower Resist

Those improvements are providing comparable benefits to electric vehicles at a lower cost, but the Center for Automotive Research cautioned that consumers still will resist increased costs.

这些改进正给电动车的低成本提供了相当可观的收益，但是汽车研究中心提醒道消费者可能仍然倾向高价格的产品。

It is not hard to see why they resist: a safe system would force average returns lower as high-yield activities came with more frequent, but systemically harmless, failures.

不难看出后者为什么抗拒：一个安全的系统将压低平均回报率，因为高收益活动将带来更频繁的、于系统无害的倒闭。

I can't resist adding that moderate drinkers have much lower death rates from heart attack than teetotalers.

我忍不住要附带补充一句：适度的饮酒者比完全禁酒者心脏病死亡率要低得多。
