English translation: if inflation soars to 10%

09:04 Jul 30, 2012
Russian to English translations [PRO]
Journalism
Russian term or phrase: раскручиваться
Помогите, пожалуйста, перевести "раскручиваться"

Контекст - Если инфляция, например, раскрутится до 10%, то ставку по ипотечным кредитам банки смогут поднять до 18%

Здесь имеется в виду "вырастет". Я думала написать rises to, но, может быть, есть что-то более экспрессивное

"Раскрутиться" можно также передать, используя слово "unwind", по подобию сжатой пружины, которую отпустили и она раскрутилась. В таких контекстах, как оказывается, очень даже применяется:

"inflation unwinds" About 469 results (0.25 seconds).

E.g.: Inflation unwinds . WASHINGTON Americans can expect a slow reduction in unemployment next year, but face inflation of at least per cent at the same time [...] http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q="inflation unwinds"&s...

As a result, they can push up costs and prices, even though demand is weak. Just as inflation winds up, it can gradually and over time be made to wind down.

disagree  The Misha: You can't say "inflation winds up to ..." This is just incorrect, unidiomatic usage. "Wind up" has a very specific meaning similar to Russian "okazatsya" or "ochutitsya".
