句子分段：But his primary task is not to think about the moral code || which governs his activity，|| any more than a businessman || is expected to dedicate his energies to an exploration || of rules of conduct in business.

参考译文：但是普通科学家的主要任务并非是思考约束其行为的道德准则，这正如人们不期望商人致力于探究商业行为规范。

句子分析：

　　从宏观框架层面来看，关键是要把握两点：第一，“whichgoverns his activity”这个定于从句可以放在被限定的名词前面，译文会显得简练，当然后置翻译也是可以的；考生最难把握的是not…any morethan…，表示两者类似。所以后半句话是用类比的方式对前半句话进行说明。

在词义的微观层面上，有些词组需要注意。moral code中，code表示编码，道德编码不同顺，需要结合汉语表达习惯，译为“道德准则”，“道德标准”等。dedicate to表示致力于，如果这个词组没有准确理解，句子就很难译好。Exploration是开发探索之意，翻译时需要做一点调整。看见，考研翻译不仅考察对单词的认知，而且考察根据上下文作意思转换与引申的能力。
