pentagon

n. 五角形

The manufacturers appear to have underbid the contracts by a wider margin than usual. Costs escalated beyond all expectations. And few were privy to the problems because the program was financed in the secret part of the Pentagon budget.

厂家对合同投的标似乎较一般低得太多。成本节节升高，超出任何人的预料。由于该计划系五角大楼秘密预算所支付，很少人知悉问题的同情。

But the judge had no stomach for bureaucratic infighting(particularly with the Pentagon, which controls most of his intelligence budget plus its own) and not much feel for how to fit secret information into policy debates.

可是法官无意参与政府内斗（尤其不愿与国防部内斗。国防部控制自己的预算，也控制着他的大部分情报预算），同时他也不甚清楚如何把机密情报扯进政策辩论。
