I'm much better having an exception get handled at the time of input than to let that prop -- that value rather propagate through a whole bunch of code until eventually it hits an error 17 calls later, and you have no clue where it came from.

不是我期望的格式,这时我最好有一个异常处理,而不是让其传下去,这个值传到代码的整个分支,最终会导致一个错误17调用的发生，并且你不知道这个错误是哪里来的。

And, in fact, it kind of looks like a function, and yet here's a semicolon I just said that can get you into trouble, and yet that's not actually a function, because there's no interesting lines of code, because it turns out the interesting code is down here at the bottom.

实际上，它有点像一个函数，并且这里有一个能够使你陷入麻烦当中的分号,那个事实上也不是一个函数，因为这里没有有用的代码，因为,有用的代码都在底端。

Because as you'll soon find, when you're writing programs 0 that aren't just four lines long but are 40 or 400 which very quickly becomes easy, you'll find that even you the next morning have no idea what this code does for whatever reason, and just having some English comments is a huge boon to comprehension for yourself and others.

你们自己写程序时就会发现,用40行甚至400行代码来代替繁杂拥挤的4行代码0,将会让事情简化许多，你会发现，即使由于某些原因,你不知道如何写代码，先写些注释，于人于己，都是好事,易于理解嘛。
