1 ups and downs
1) подъёмы и спуски, неровности местности, ухабыHe had forgotten that the road was dusty, bumpy, narrow, twisting and full of ups and downs, which slowed them down continuously. (R. Aldington, ‘All Men Are Enemies’, part IV, ch. V) — Он забыл, что дорога тут пыльная, кочковатая, узкая и извилистая, с бесконечными подъемами и спусками и что все это замедляет езду.
2) превратности судьбы, удачи и неудачи, радость и горе, взлёты и падения (часто ups and downs of fortune, of life, etc.)I've had ups in my life, and I've had downs... (A. C. Doyle, ‘The Sign of Four’, ch. XII) — Я столько испытал в жизни...
With many ups and downs he was after six months, in sight of his goal. (W. Du Bois, ‘Mansart Builds a School’, ch. XI) — Спустя полгода, после многих удач и провалов, он почти накопил желаемую сумму.
Every mountain also has its valley. This certainly is true of capitalist production, the history of which is characterized by recurring cyclical economic crises. Although once again we are being assured that this time the "ups" and "downs" of the economic cycle have been flattened out into just a series of "ups". (G. Green, ‘The Enemy Forgotten’, ch. V) — Хребтов без долин не бывает. Эта истина относится также и к капиталистическому производству, история которого характеризуется периодически повторяющимися циклическими экономическими кризисами, хотя нас снова уверяют в том, что на этот раз все "взлеты" и "падения" экономического цикла выровнены в одну сплошную серию "взлетов".
3) повышение и понижение ( цен)If... you analyse the movement of market prices for longer periods... you will find that the fluctuations of market prices, their deviations from values, their ups and downs, paralyse and compensate each other. (K. Marx, ‘Wages, Price and Profit’, ch. VI) — Если... вы проанализируете движение рыночных цен за более продолжительные периоды... то вы найдете, что колебания рыночных цен, их отклонения от стоимостей, их повышения и понижения компенсируют друг друга.
