The Zen of Python, by Tim Peters
# Python·禅

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.
# 简单胜过复杂
Complex is better than complicated.
# 复杂胜过凌乱
Flat is better than nested.
# 扁平胜于嵌套
Sparse is better than dense.
# 间隔胜于紧凑
Readability counts.
# 可读性很重要
Special cases aren't special enough to break the rules.
# 即使假借特例的实用性之名,也不违背这些规则
Although practicality beats purity.
# 虽然实用性胜于纯度
Errors should never pass silently.
# 错误不应该被无声的忽略
Unless explicitly silenced.
# 除非明确的沉默
In the face of ambiguity, refuse the temptation to guess.
# 当存在多种可能时,不要尝试去猜测
There should be one-- and preferably only one --obvious way to do it.
# 应该有一个,最好只有一个,明显能做到这一点
Although that way may not be obvious at first unless you're Dutch.
# 虽然这种方式可能不容易,除非你是 Python 之父
Now is better than never.
# 现在做总比不做好
Although never is often better than *right* now.
# 虽然有时永远不做胜过“马上”去做
If the implementation is hard to explain, it's a bad idea.
# 如果这个实现不容易解释,那么它肯定是坏主意
If the implementation is easy to explain, it may be a good idea.
# 如果这个实现容易解释,那么它很可能是个好主意
Namespaces are one honking great idea -- let's do more of those!
# 命名空间是一种绝妙的理念,应当多加利用
