使曲线变平

behind the curve───滞后；落后于潮流；落后于形势变化

ahead of the curve───走在前端的；引领潮流的

attend the birth───参加分娩

fattening up───使肥胖

learning curve───学习曲线

completing the square───完全平方

completing the squares───完成方程

flash in the pan───昙花一现（指开始预料取得重大成功，结果失败）；淘金盆里的反光（形容空欢喜一场，好景不长）

But the Federal Reserve had already started raising short-term interest rates, flattening the yield curve, the difference between short and long rates.───但是，美联储已经开始提高短期利率，使收益曲线变得扁平，收益曲线即长短期利率之间的利差。

Given the amplifier's gain curve without using any gain flattening techniques, the gain flattening filter consisting of three LPGs is designed.───结合不使用增益平坦技术条件下增益特性曲线的特点，设计了一种由三个LPG组成的均衡滤波器。

Part of this is driven by what I call the "flattening innovation scale curve."───部分是受创业日益全球化的驱动，部分是由于我所说的“创新曲线趋平”的影响。
