Question

英语翻译
Some economists do say that high-price oil has been a strain on the economy in the last few years.But the effect may have been to shave a bit off an otherwise healthy growth rate,so the impact,they say,has been hard to see.
关键的地方：strain shave off...
说清楚点.strain 还有shave a bit off这个短语请翻译出来～..
还有..麻烦不要用翻译软件..一楼的那个答案很汗~....|||话说没必要这么混的来回答吧.....

Answer 1

一些经济学家强调说,高石油价格在过去几年中对经济有重要影响.但因为它已持续地对经济增长率的健康发展有阻碍.所以,经济学家们说,目前高油价对经济的冲击并不明显.
strain 这里直译是“挫损”,意译是“重要影响
shave a bit off - 刮掉,当然是慢慢地刮啦,意译是“一直,持续地”
Otherwise 这里直译是“反向的”,意译是“阻碍”；
