復雜的形式主語和形式賓語的拆分和理解 例206

例206　If experiments are planned and carried out according to plan as faithfully as the reports in the science journals indicate, then it is perfectly logical for management to expect research to produce results measurable in dollars and cents.

【結構分析】If experiments are planned and carried out according to plan as faithfully as the reports in the science journals indicate是個很長的狀語從句，其中as faithfully as the reports in the science journals indicate是個比較級，后面是主干，是it無主句，也就是it is perfectly logical for management to expect research to produce results，后面加上形容詞短語measurable in dollars and cents，修飾前面的results。

【亮點回放】此句話的亮點是很長的if條件句，其中套用了比較級，主干是it無主句，很長的狀語從句是很好的用法，值得學習。

【核心詞匯】

planned and carried out　規(guī)劃和實施

according to plan　根據計劃

faithfully　如實地

perfectly logical　很有邏輯的

produce results　產生結果

measurable in dollars and cents　可以用金錢衡量的結果

【參考譯文】如果試驗是像科學雜志上的報告所示的那樣如實地根據計劃規(guī)劃和實施的話，那么對管理層來說，期待研究能夠產生可以用金錢衡量的結果是完全合理的。
