Beautiful is better than ugly.
> 优美胜于丑陋(应以编写优美的代码为目标)
Explicit is better than implicit.
> 明了胜于晦涩(优美的代码应该是浅显易懂的,避免使用过于复杂的语法和逻辑)
Simple is better than complex.
> 简洁胜于复杂(优美的代码应当是简洁的)
Complex is better than complicated.
> 复杂胜于凌乱(如果复杂不可避免,也不能陷于混乱)
Flat is better than nested.
> 扁平胜于嵌套(优美的代码应当是扁平的,避免嵌套过深的逻辑)
Sparse is better than dense.
> 间隔胜于紧凑(优美的代码有适当的间隔,不要奢望用一行代码解决问题)
Readability counts.
> 可读性很重要(优美的代码应易于阅读、易于理解)
Special cases aren't special enough to break the rules.
Although practicality beats purity.
> 即便假借特例之名,也不可违背这些规则(这些规则至高无上)
Errors should never pass silently.
Unless explicitly silenced.
> 面对错误,不能沉默放过,除非你确实需要这么做(代码应显式处理错误)
In the face of ambiguity, refuse the temptation to guess.
> 面对多种可能,不要尝试去猜测(实践是检验真理的唯一标准)
There should be one-- and preferably only one --obvious way to do it.
> 凡是问题,总能找到独一无二的解决方案(有问题就会有答案)
Although that way may not be obvious at first unless you're Dutch.
> 虽然这并不容易,因为你不是 Python 之父(这里的荷兰人是指Guido)
Now is better than never.
> 立即行动比永远拖延要好(千里之行,始于足下)
Although never is often better than right now.
> 但盲目开始还不如不做(谋而后动)
If the implementation is hard to explain, it's a bad idea.
If the implementation is easy to explain, it may be a good idea.
> 如果方案很难向别人解释清楚,那它可能不是个好方案;反之亦然
Namespaces are one honking great idea -- let's do more of those!
> 命名空间是一种绝妙的理念,我们应多加利用
