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.

【结构分析】If experiments are planned and carried out according to plan as faithfully as the reports in the science journals indicate是个很长的状语从句，其中as faithfully as the reports in the science journals indicate是个比较级，后面是主干，是it无主句，也就是it is perfectly logical for management to expect research to produce results，后面加上形容词短语measurable in dollars and cents，修饰前面的results。

【亮点回放】此句话的亮点是很长的if条件句，其中套用了比较级，主干是it无主句，很长的状语从句是很好的用法，值得学习。

【核心词汇】

planned and carried out　规划和实施

according to plan　根据计划

faithfully　如实地

perfectly logical　很有逻辑的

produce results　产生结果

measurable in dollars and cents　可以用金钱衡量的结果

【参考译文】如果试验是像科学杂志上的报告所示的那样如实地根据计划规划和实施的话，那么对管理层来说，期待研究能够产生可以用金钱衡量的结果是完全合理的。
