一、完整英文原文及常规翻译

英文原文：

This giant crane was used for moving and placing the reinforced concrete blocks. In the dark we recognized it by its shape -- an immense pillar of zigzag rods. At the top of it, we knew, at the peak, would be the flag. And far over our heads, up in the dark sky, would be the crane's giant arm. On the arm was the banner that we saw everyday, with the letters ABC, the initial letters of our company's name. We had ABC written on our shirts, too, and on the chairs and beds with which our dormitory was furnished.

常规翻译：

这台巨型起重机用于移动和放置钢筋混凝土块。在黑暗中，我们通过其形状辨认出它——由曲折钢杆组成的巨大支柱。我们知道，在它的顶端最高处会是旗帜。在我们头顶上方漆黑的夜空中，是起重机的巨型吊臂。吊臂上挂着我们每天看到的横幅，上面写着ABC三个字母，是我们公司名称的首字母缩写。我们的衬衫上也印着ABC，宿舍配备的桌椅床铺上也都有ABC字样。
