英语翻译
The administration was not fully tested on either of these questions during the 1954 recession．The decline never reached the point where the administration thought that strong action was needed,so one can only say that the critical point was somewhere below the low point reached in 1954．However,discussions within the administration,and some small actions,reveal that the administration thought it might not be far from the critical point at some time in the spring of 1954．And since the critical point was never reached,the adequacy of the preparations was never tested．

答案

在1954的经济大萧条中,政府在任何这些问题上都没有完全通过检验.政府从没想到（经济）会衰退到需要用这么强烈的措施（来解决）的程度（这个程度称为临界点）,所以只能说临界点是低于1954年所达到的最低点的.然而,政府的讨论以及一些小行动表明了政府认为1954年春天的某一时刻离临界点已不远了.因为临界点从没达到,所以准备的恰当程度从没被检验过.
