The Zen of Python, by Tim Peters
#Python之道 Tim Peters
Beautiful is better than ugly.
#美好胜于丑陋
Explicit is better than implicit.
#清楚胜于含混
Simple is better than complex.
#简明胜于复杂
Complex is better than complicated.
#复杂胜于晦涩
Flat is better than nested.
#平直胜于曲折
Sparse is better than dense.
#疏散胜于密集
Readability counts.
#重在易读
Special cases aren't special enough to break the rules.
#遵守规则,概莫能外
Although practicality beats purity.
#纵然实践会击败真理
Errors should never pass silently.
#错误却万不容姑息
Unless explicitly silenced.
#除非心意已冷
In the face of ambiguity, refuse the temptation to guess.2
#疑窦丛生,拒绝猜测
There should be one-- and preferably only one --obvious way to do it.
#宁折不弯,探寻正道
Although that way may not be obvious at first unless you're Dutch.
#路漫漫其修远兮,吾将上下而求索
Now is better than never.
#悟以往之不谏,知来者之可追
Although never is often better than *right* now.
#前路不明,似应放弃
If the implementation is hard to explain, it's a bad idea.
#晦涩难懂,弃之可也
If the implementation is easy to explain, it may be a good idea.
#简明易懂,方可存留
Namespaces are one honking great idea -- let's do more of those!
#命名空间,多多益善
