请教一句话的翻译理解…
it was a question of who yelled the loudest . 请问这句话怎么理解…谢谢 本短语出自下面的听力对话：<br /><blockquote>W: Did you hear that Phil is being assigned that really nice office on the second floor?<br />M: Yes, just this morning.<br /> To tell the truth, I think it was a question of who yelled the loudest.<br />Q: What can be inferred from the conversation?</blockquote><br /><br />除了用yell这个单词之外，常见的还有以下一些：<br /><i>a question of who shouts/speaks/talks/croaks/screams the loudest</i><br />或者这样表达:<br /><i>a question of who has the loudest voice/a question of who is the loudest</i><br /><br />这个短语的意思大致相当于：谁嗓门大谁有理。或者：会叫的鸟儿有食吃<br />描述的是一种没有严格标准，没有明确是非的情况，谁争取就是谁的，谁主张谁就是对的一种状况。<br /><br />以下是两个来自网络的例句：<br />NHS can't afford to keep on saving lives, says cancer expert: Health economist Julian Le Grand, of the London School of Economics, suggested there should be "a consistent rule that says what will be funded and what won't. It shouldn't be a question of who shouts the loudest."<br /><br />Street art is one component of the art world. It has its own singularities like any other art movement. In a way, art is what you want to see before your eyes. Everyone has their own desires, fears and fantasies. Art is a way to transform these into something concrete. From then on, it’s just a question of who shouts the loudest or who jumps the highest. 长见识了，呵呵~~~
