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.
解词：
regularity：规则性，规律性；
conformity：遵从，符合
odd balls：怪人
discriminate：歧视
析句：
句子主干：Nor is management to be blamed。
句子是一个否定词nor开头的倒装句，改写成正常语序为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引导条件状语从句，下面重点来解析一下这个从句。首先来看一下as。as可以引导定语从句，代替先行词。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.(第二个as代替regularity and conformity to a standard pattern，第一个as做副词，修饰desirable,表示正如科学家所希望的）
整句话可以改写成regularity and conformity to a standard pattern as the writing of his papers would appear to reflect are as desirable to the scientist .
科学家的论文写作中所反映出的合乎规则并遵从标准模板正是他所想要的话。
句中的as…as…不是比较结构了，需要注意。
再来看一下后面的主句，be blamed for...因...而受到指责。介词for引出原因，由于discriminate against歧视...,并且in favor of喜欢，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是并列的两个成分。如在下句话The law does not discriminate against the poor in favor of the rich.（译为法律绝不歧视穷人而偏袒富人.）中，against和in favor of是并列的成分一样。more conventional thinkers who work well with the team中，who引导定语从句，先行词是thinkers。
翻译：
如果科学家的论文写作中所反映出的合乎规则并遵从标准模板正是他所想要的话，那么管理层就不该因歧视研究者中的“思维与众不同的人”，而喜欢其中较为传统的“善于团队合作”的思想家而受到指责了。
