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.
【核心词汇】
measurable a.可以衡量的
logical a.合理的，合乎逻辑的
faithfully ad.如实地，忠实地
indicate v.显示，暗示
according to按照，根据
carry out颁布，实施，执行
【结构分析】
该句是主从复合句，从句是if引导的条件状语从句If experiments are planned and carried out according to plan as faithfully as the reports in the science journals indicate，主句是then it is perfectly logical for management to expect research to produce results measurable in dollars and cents，其中it为形式主语，真正的主语为后面的to do不定式，measurable in dollars and cents意为“可以用金钱来衡量”，放在results的后面做后置定语。
【参考译文】
假如科学实验像科学杂志登载的科学报告显示的那样如实地按事先的计划去规划和实施，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。
