The Zen of Python

Python之禅

  by Tim Peters

  六一  译

Beautiful is better than ugly.
优美胜于丑陋
Explicit is better than implicit.
明了胜于晦涩
Simple is better than complex.
简洁胜于复杂
Complex is better than complicated.
复杂胜于凌乱
Flat is better than nested.
扁平胜于嵌套
Sparse is better than dense.
间隔胜于紧凑
Readability counts.
可读即是要义
Special cases aren’t special enough to break the rules.
特例亦不可违
Although practicality beats purity.
即使现世纷繁
坚守初心不易
Errors should never pass silently.
错误不可放过
Unless explicitly silenced.
除非已知其意
In the face of ambiguity, refuse the temptation to guess.
慎重面对歧义
切勿随意猜测
There should be one-- and preferably only one --obvious way to do it.
真相只有一个
仅需尽力找出
Although that way may not be obvious at first unless you’re Dutch.
若非Python之父
此路砥砺难行
Now is better than never.
行动优于踟蹰
Although never is often better than right now.
思虑却胜武断
If the implementation is hard to explain, it’s a bad idea.
不可述者难为
If the implementation is easy to explain, it may be a good idea.
可述方可施行
Namespaces are one honking great idea – let’s do more of those!
命名空间甚妙
诸君可常用之
