The Zen of Python, by Tim Peters

---

Beautiful is better than ugly.
优美胜过丑陋
Explicit is better than implicit.
清晰胜过晦涩
Simple is better than complex.
简单胜过复杂
Complex is better than complicated.
复杂胜过杂乱
Flat is better than nested.
扁平胜过嵌套
Sparse is better than dense.
间隔胜过紧凑
Readability counts.
可读性很重要
Special cases aren’t special enough to break the rules.
特例不足以打破这些原则
Although practicality beats purity.
尽管现实常常不那么纯粹
Errors should never pass silently.
错误永远不该被静默地传递下去
Unless explicitly silenced.
除非是显式消除
In the face of ambiguity, refuse the temptation to guess.
面对模棱两可的答案，不要试图猜测
There should be one-- and preferably only one --obvious way to do it.
必然有且仅有一种明显的解决方案
Although that way may not be obvious at first unless you’re Dutch.
尽管那种方案一开始可能并不明显，毕竟你不是Python之父
Now is better than never.
现在做胜过永远不做
Although never is often better than right now.
永远不做胜过鲁莽行事
If the implementation is hard to explain, it’s a bad idea.
如果方案难以被解释清楚，那么一定是个烂方案
If the implementation is easy to explain, it may be a good idea.
如果方案可以被轻易地解释清楚，那么可能是个好方案
Namespaces are one honking great idea – let’s do more of those!
命名空间是一个很棒的理念，让我们多加利用
