Subject: Тем, кто до тонкостей разбирается во временах ling. По статистическим данным с 1970 года, как только кривая доходности становилась плоской, то в течение следующего года начиналась тенденция снижения доходности, а цикл роста процентных ставок завершался.

According to statistical data, following 1970, when the profitability curve was beginning to flatten (would flatten out), next year would show a tendency for the average rate of profit to fall (demonstrated a steady downward trend), and the interest rate increase cycle would be over. |
| Спасибо, Анна Ф., за рабочий вариант. Таковых оказалось 1. |
|
alex.k, дайте пож-та больше контекста, напр., когда окончился (ли) указанный период? конец 1980х? |
| Статистика по настоящее время. |

Violetta-Konfetta yes its all me - typed too quickly, it happens |
|
gogoleque, the problem is that it is statistical data SINCE 1970 up to present. How about sequence of tenses in this case of repeated actions? I am at a loss here... AССORDING TO statistical data since 1970, as soon as the YIELD CURVE had (?)FLATTENED, the following year ? would have ? demonstrated a trend towards a drop in the profit rate... |

ket: AССORDING TO statistical data since 1970, as soon as the YIELD CURVE had FLATTENED OUT, the following year SHOULD HAVE demonstrated a trend towards a drop in the profit rate and the cycle of growth for interest rates should have been brought to a close. maybe this? |

2 gogolesque: maybe it's time to register, then ;) |
|
sets of successive actions - I would go with Past Indefinite's all the way +modal would whenever the curve flattened, the next year would see a profitability decrease trend, and the cycle of interest rate growth would come to an end (loose terminology, i am sorry, just wanted to express my tenses) |

I have only suggested. :( |
| Всё-таки первый вариант, по-моему, - наиболее точное попадание. C ним практически совпадает вариант, предложенный d. В первом даже точнее, потому что там используется Past Continuous - "начинала становиться, становилась", вместо чего d. предлагает Past Indefinite, а в остальном то же - дальше would. Как, интересно, называется это время c would? Видимо, всё равно точного, адекватного перевода этих русских глаголов несовершенного вида нет, так что английский - приблизительный перевод. Shall и should have, по-моему, здесь не годятся. Как сюда пристегнуть Past Perfect - тоже непонятно. |
|
алекс к, с would здесь не простое время, а модальный глагол+инфинитив для обозначения повторявшегося действия с некоторым усилением значения (the door would not open - дверь никак не открывалась). Past Perf имХо здесь не нужен АннаФ - извините, плагиат невольный получился, я проглядел ваш ответ, хоть он и 1-й |
|
to gogolesque Thank you, the only question is why you are using "should" (I am serious!). Does "would" sounds for you like a mistake here? |

ket: would sounds like a mistake - yes i would in the end say this: based on statistical data since 1970, as soon as the yield curve flattens out, the following year should demonstrate a trend towards a drop in the profit rate and the cycle of growth for interest rates should be brought to a close. |
| gogo, can you please explain the grammar for should? i am really interested here |
|
gogolesque, Thank you. Shall try to find some explanations in the grammar books :-) . |
