4
5 Beautiful isbetter than ugly.6 #优美胜于丑陋
7 Explicit isbetter than implicit.8 #明了胜于晦涩
9 Simple isbetter than complex.10 #简洁胜于复杂
11 Complex isbetter than complicated.12 #复杂胜于凌乱
13 Flat isbetter than nested.14 #扁平胜于嵌套
15 Sparse isbetter than dense.16 #稀松胜于稠密
17 Readability counts.18 #可读性很重要
19 Special cases aren't special enough to break the rules.
20 Although practicality beats purity.21 #实用虽胜于纯粹
22 #但特例不足以改变原则(更多的时候特例并不是真的特例,而是你没发现更好的方案)
23 Errors should never passsilently.24 #例外必须处理
25 Unless explicitly silenced.26 #除非这正是你期望的
27 In the face of ambiguity, refuse the temptation to guess.28 #当存在多种可能性,不要尝试去猜测
29 There should be one-- and preferably only one --obvious way to do it.30 #而是尽量找一种,最好是唯一的一种,明确的方案
31 Although that way may not be obvious at first unless you're Dutch.
32 #虽然这不太容易,除非你是Python之父
33 Now isbetter than never.34 #做好过不做
35 Although never is often better than *right*now.36 #但不加思索的做,有时还不如不做
37 If the implementation is hard to explain, it's a bad idea.
38 #难以描述的方案,一定是个坏方案
39 If the implementation iseasy to explain, it may be a good idea.40 #易于描述的方案,可能是个好方案
41 Namespaces are one honking great idea -- let's do more of those!
42 #命名空间是绝妙的理念,我们应当多加利用
