I dette tilfælde er det en overskrift på et afsnit om den svingende sukkerproduktion på Gran Canaria. Overskriften lyder: "The Rise and Fall of Sugar Production". Men udtrykket Rise and Fall er jo noget man ser med jævne mellemrum. hvordan mon man kan oversætte det?

agree  Dan Schioenning Larsen: selv om der er givet point, så synes jeg nu, at dit forslag fungerer bedre i denne sammenhæng, da det virker som noget, der stadig foregår på Gran Canaria og ikke noget historisk. Eller hvad?
