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."
Regularity:n. 规则性;整齐;匀称;正规
Conformity:n. 一致,适合;相似;符合
discriminate:vt. 区别;辨别;歧视 vi. 区别;辨别;歧视
[参考译文] 如果科学家对标准式样的整齐划一的要求就像他论文的写作所反映的一 样,那么管理层就不该因歧视研究者中的"思维与众不同的人",喜欢其中较为传统的"善于团队合作"的思想者而受到指责了
