Nor, if regularity and conformity to a standard pattern are as desirable to the scientist as the writing of his papers would appear to reflect, is management to be blamed for discriminating against the“odd balls” among researchers in favor of more conventional thinkers who work well with the team.

解詞：

regularity：規(guī)則性，規(guī)律性；

conformity：遵從，符合

odd balls：怪人

discriminate：歧視

析句：

句子主干：Nor is management to be blamed。

句子是一個否定詞nor開頭的倒裝句，改寫成正常語序為if regularity and conformity to a standard pattern are as desirable to the scientist as the writing of his papers would appear to reflect, management is not to be blamed for discriminating against the“odd balls” among researchers in favor of more conventional thinkers who work well with the team.

If引導條件狀語從句，下面重點來解析一下這個從句。首先來看一下as。as可以引導定語從句，代替先行詞。如：

There is so warm a house as we all like to live in.(as代替a house)

He has so difficult a problem as none of us can solve.(as代替a problem)

regularity and conformity to a standard pattern are as desirable to the scientist as the writing of his papers would appear to reflect.(第二個as代替regularity and conformity to a standard pattern，第一個as做副詞，修飾desirable,表示正如科學家所希望的）

整句話可以改寫成regularity and conformity to a standard pattern as the writing of his papers would appear to reflect are as desirable to the scientist .

科學家的論文寫作中所反映出的合乎規(guī)則并遵從標準模板正是他所想要的.話。

句中的as…as…不是比較結構了，需要注意。

再來看一下后面的主句，be blamed for...因...而受到指責。介詞for引出原因，由于discriminate against歧視...,并且in favor of喜歡，偏袒...; discriminate后面的 against the“odd balls” among researchers和 in favor of more conventional thinkers who work well with the team是并列的兩個成分。如在下句話The law does not discriminate against the poor in favor of the rich.（譯為法律絕不歧視窮人而偏袒富人.）中，against和in favor of是并列的成分一樣。more conventional thinkers who work well with the team中，who引導定語從句，先行詞是thinkers。

翻譯：

如果科學家的論文寫作中所反映出的合乎規(guī)則并遵從標準模板正是他所想要的話，那么管理層就不該因歧視研究者中的“思維與眾不同的人”，而喜歡其中較為傳統(tǒng)的“善于團隊合作”的思想家而受到指責了。
