问题     The staff got right to business and conferred all day.  Victor Henry worked with the planners, on the level below the chiefs of staff and their deputies where Burne-Wilke operated, and of course far below the summit of the President, the Prime Minister, and their advisers. Familiar problems came up at once: excessive and contradictor/requests from the British services, unreal plans, unfilled contracts, jumbled priorities, fouled communications. One cardinal point the planners hammered out fast. Building new ships to replace U-boat sinkings came first. No war material could be used against Hitler until it had crossed the ocean. This plain truth, so simple once agreed on, ran a red line across every request, every program, every projection. Steel, a- luminum, rubber, valves, motors, machine tools, copper wire, all the thousand things of war, would go first to ships. This simple yardstick rapidly disclosed the poverty of the "arsenal of democracy", and dictated -as a matter of frightening urgency - a gigantic job of building new steel mills, and plants to turn the steel into combat machines and tools.
选项
答案    参谋人员立即开始工作，全天开会讨论。维克多?亨利与制定计划的人员一起开会，伯恩-威尔克就参加这一层的工作。在他们上面是参谋总长和他们的副手。再上面是总统、首相及其顾问的最高级会议。一开始就碰到了熟悉的老问题：来自英国三军数量极大，互相矛盾的要求，不现实的计划，没有兑现的合同，乱七八糟的优先照顾的要求，混乱恶劣的通讯联络。计划人员很快就确定了重点，那就是首先要制造新船以补充德国潜艇击沉的船只。战争物资如不运到大洋彼岸，就无法用来跟希特勒作战。一旦大家同意，这浅显的道理就决定了要勾掉所有其它的要求、方案、计划。钢、铝、橡胶、真空管、马达、机床、铜线，成千种战争需要的物资要首先用于造船。这个简单的(衡量标准)很快就暴露出“民主阵营兵工厂”的贫困并提出必须着手进行一项巨大的、迫在眉睫的工作：建造新的钢厂和将钢制成作战车辆和武器的工厂。
解析 全文一共有八句要求翻译。第一句话采用了“扩句”法，将一整句话拆成了三句，使译文显得结构简单、意思明了。第二句话根据原文上下文局部采用了“增译”。“一开始”的添加不但符合原文，而且使得上下文的衔接更自然。第三、四句话的翻译中采用了“缩句”法，将两句话合译成一整句，且第三句的翻译中采用了“语序调整法”。文章第五句也采用了“语序调整法”，将主从句的位置做了适当变动。第六、七句基本上采用了“顺译法”。文章最后一句话的翻译中局部采用了“转化词类”法，将名词转化成动词，dictatedag a gigantic job译成了“提出必须着手进行一项巨大的……”从而与原文更加贴切。
