Barbara Cochran (a guest user) asked this question:

Language pair:	Italian > English
Subject:	Other
Level of diffculty:	Easy / medium
Word or term in question:	gravosa ipoteca
Context:	La mia partecipazione così pubblica ad una battaglia politica contraria alla compagine...
Keywords:	...governativa avrebbe potuto anche pregiudicare tutta la mia causa sub judice e forse il mio stesso posto nell'amminstrazione. Grazie al disordine generale, ed all'aiuto di alcuni amici al Viminale, riuscii a limitare i danni ad una gravosa ipoteca sugli sviluppi immediati della mia carriera...Don't care for the literal translation, in this instance.

 

The answer of Amanda Haste PhD, DipTrans(IoLET), MCIL, CL   was rated best

minimise the possible damage [to my career]

My comment:

I agree with the previous underlying meaning, but would use this phrasing as being more idiomatic and therefore natural in English.
