agree  Margaret Schroeder: Te suena mejor porque es el significado correcto. Las otras sugerencias no incluyen el concepto necesario de que se redujo o se desminuó por la actuación de algún agente o factor, no por si sólo. http://www.wordreference.com/definition/curtail.htm?v=b

For me, \"to curtail\" is a synonym of \"to rein in\"

\"to rein in\" translates nicely as \"refrenar\"
