程序需要保持自身的一致性，在程序中做每件事都只能有一种方式。

The application needs to be consistent with itself. You always want one and only one way of doing something within an application.

除了变更管理处理过程自身之外，一致性也存在于其他的领域之中。

In addition to the change management process itself, there is consistency in other areas as well. Consistent makefiles and build script formats and ownership, for instance.

在这个反复无常的世界里，我们竭力保持自身的一致性，力图善始善终。

In an inconsistent world we at least should be self-consistent.
