1. 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.
【譯文】假如科學(xué)實(shí)驗(yàn)像科學(xué)雜志登載的科學(xué)報(bào)告顯示的那樣完全按事先的計(jì)劃去規(guī)劃和實(shí)施,那么,對(duì)管理層來(lái)說(shuō),期待研究能夠產(chǎn)生可以用金錢(qián)衡量的結(jié)果是完全合理的。
【析句】這是一個(gè)主從復(fù)合句,從句是if引導(dǎo)的條件從句,主句是then it is perfectly logical for management to expect research to produce results measurable in dollars and cents。從句的結(jié)構(gòu)比較復(fù)雜,在這個(gè)as... as...的結(jié)構(gòu)中,后一個(gè)as跟了一個(gè)句子。
【講詞】measurable意為“可以衡量的”,measurable in dollars and cents意為“可以用錢(qián)來(lái)衡量”。In fact, practically any function that can be described is measurable.(事實(shí)上,每一個(gè)可以描述的功能幾乎都能加以衡量。)Economic effects are more measurable than social effects.(經(jīng)濟(jì)影響比社會(huì)影響更能加以衡量。)
2. It is entirely reasonable for auditors to believe that scientists who know exactly where they are going and how they will get there should not be distracted by the necessity of keeping one eye on the cash register while the other eye is on the microscope.
【譯文】審計(jì)人員也完全有理由相信,確切知道自己的目標(biāo)并知道如何實(shí)現(xiàn)這一目標(biāo)的科學(xué)家們根本沒(méi)必要在一只眼盯著顯微鏡時(shí),還要分心用另一只眼睛盯著現(xiàn)金計(jì)數(shù)器。
【析句】這個(gè)簡(jiǎn)單句的主語(yǔ)用的是形式主語(yǔ)it,真正的主語(yǔ)是for后面的部分。believe后面跟的是一個(gè)that引導(dǎo)的賓語(yǔ)從句,其主干是scientists... should not be distracted by...,其中的主語(yǔ)scientists跟了一個(gè)who引導(dǎo)的定語(yǔ)從句,這個(gè)定語(yǔ)從句的賓語(yǔ)分別是where和how引導(dǎo)的兩個(gè)從句。
【講詞】 distract意為"使混亂,使迷惑"。The noise in the street distracted me from my reading.(街上的嘈雜聲使我不能專(zhuān)心讀書(shū)。)The school students were distracted by the noise outside the classroom.(教室外邊的喧鬧聲使學(xué)生們不能集中注意力。)have(keep) an eye on意為"盯著,看著;注意,留意"。Keep an eye on contact lenses safety.(當(dāng)心隱形眼鏡的安全。)Scientists warn us of the need to keep an eye on the ozone layer.(科學(xué)家警告我們要關(guān)注臭氧層。)
