例の「収穫逓減の法則」曲線


Explanation:
これはまずfamiliarとdiminishing-returnを別々のことがらと考えてかかりましょう。そしてdiminishing-returnとは例の law of diminishing return という有名な経済学用語を指しているので、法則という言葉は表示されていなくても、あるものとして訳したほうがこなれた日本語になるかと思われます。そこであとさきになりましたがfamiliarの番です。これは「例によって例のごとく」ということで、marketing, market research 分野にも頻発しますのでここにも出てきたわけ、だからfamiliarなのです。そこでDaisukeさんのように「おなじみの」その他も自然ではありますが、ここでは「例の」としてみました。

Maynard, you are so right. We are talking about that famous Law in Economy (by the way, I hated Economy. A subject I got C in college course).
