~%It's easy to prepare ordinary text for \TeX\ since
~%\TeX\ usually doesn't care about how you break up your input into
~%lines. It treats the end of a line of text like a space.%
~%\footnote \dag{\TeX\ treats a tab like a space too, as we point
~%out in this {\it footnote}.}   If you don't want a space there,
~%put a per%
~%cent sign (the comment character) at the end of the line.
~%   \TeX\ ignores spaces at the start of a line, and treats more
~%than        one      space as equivalent to a single space,
~%even after a period.      You indicate a new paragraph by
~%skipping a line (or more than one line).

由于 \TeX\ 并不关心原始的输入文本中的换行，因此，我们无须关心
应该给其提供何种格式化的文本。在 \TeX\ 看来，输入文本中的换行符
和空格等价。%
\footnote \dag{\TeX\ 将 Tab 也当作空格处理，就如你在这个
{\it 脚注}所见到的一样。}   如果你不想在行尾处看到空格，
可以在行尾处写一个百分号（注释符号）。\TeX\ 忽略行首的空格，
对多于一个的空格当做一个单独的空格看待 --- 哪怕这些空格位于
句号后面。你可以用一个或者多个空白行表示一个新的段落的开始。

~%When \TeX\ sees a period followed by a space (or the end of the
~%line, which is equivalent), it ordinarily assumes you've ended a
~%sentence and inserts a little extra space after the period.  It
~%treats question marks and exclamation points the same way.
当 \TeX\ 看见一个句号后面紧接着一个空格（或者是一个行结束符，这
两者等价）时，它通常会认为此句号代表一句话的结束，并在句号的后面
加上一点小小的空格。同样的处理还适用于问号和惊叹号。

~%  But \TeX's rules for handling periods sometimes need fine
~%tuning. \TeX\ assumes that a capital letter before a period
~%doesn't end the sentence, so you have to do something a little
~%different if, say, you're writing about DNA\null.
有时需要微调 \TeX\ 处理句号的方式。当句号前面紧跟着标题字
母（大写字母）时，\TeX\ 会认为这个句号并不做为句子的结束符，
因此在这种情况下，你需要作一些小改动。例如：我们这样写 DNA\null.
~% The \null prevents TeX from perceiving the capital `A'
~% as being next to the period.
% \null 可以阻止 \TeX\ 感知句号前面的标题字母 `A'。
~%It's a good idea to tie words together in references such as
~%``see Fig.~8'' and in names such as V.~I\null. Lenin and in
~%$\ldots$ so that \TeX\ will never split them in an awkward place
~%between two lines.  (The three dots indicate an ellipsis.)
在引用（如``Fig.~8''）、姓名（如``V.~I\null. Lenin''）
以及三个点$\ldots$中，最好把单词绑定在一起，
这样 \TeX\ 不会在它们的内部断行（三个点表示省略号）。

~%You should put quotations in pairs of left and right
~%single ``quotes'' so that you get the correct left and right
~%double quotation marks.  ``For adjacent single and double
~%quotation marks, insert a `thinspace'\thinspace''. You can
~%get en-dashes--like so, and em-dashes---like so.
为得到正确的左右双引号，你需要用两个左右单``引号''。
``在相邻的单引号和双引号之间，要插入一个`小间隔'\thinspace''。
连接号--可以这样写，而破折号---可以这样写。

~%\noindent Now let's see how to control indentation.  If an

~%that this paragraph isn't indented.
\noindent 现在让我们来看看如何控制缩进。如果一个普通的文字处理
程序都能处理缩进的话，那 \TeX\ 一定也能。请注意，本段并未缩进。

~%Usually you'll either want to indent paragraphs or to leave
~%extra space between them.  Since we haven't changed anything
~%yet, this paragraph is indented.
通常来说，你会想在段落的起始处安排缩进，在段落之间安排一些额外
的空白。由于我们在此尚未做任何特殊处理，因此本段是缩进的。

{\parindent = 0pt \parskip = 6pt
~% The left brace starts a group containing the unindented text.
% 这里的左括弧包裹了一组不缩进的文本

~%Let's do these two paragraphs a different way,
~%with no indentation and six printer's points of extra space
~%between paragraphs.
让我们对这两个段落作一些特殊处理，这两段将不缩进，并且两段
之间有 6pt 宽的空白。

~%So here's another paragraph that we're typesetting without
~%indentation.  If we didn't put space between these paragraphs,
~%you would have a hard time knowing where one ends
~%and the next begins.
这是第二段不缩进的文字。如果不在这两段之间插入空白的话，将很难
分辨段与段之间的结束和起始。

\par % The paragraph *must* be ended within the group.
}% The right brace ends the group containing unindented text.

~%It's also possible to indent both sides of entire paragraphs.
~%The next three paragraphs illustrate this:
你也能在段落的两边同时缩进，下面的 3 段文字演示了双边缩进的效果：

\smallskip % Provide a little extra space here.
% Skips like this and \vskip below end a paragraph.
{\narrower
~% ``We've indented this paragraph on both sides by the paragraph
~% indentation.  This is often a good way to set long quotations.''
``我们对这一段作了双边缩进的处理。在长段引用时，通常都会这么做。''

~%``You can do multiple paragraphs this way if you choose.  This
~%is the second paragraph that's singly indented.''\par}
``如果你愿意的话，可以同时对多个段落作如此处理。
这是第二个轻微缩进的段落。''\par}

~%{\narrower \narrower You can even make paragraphs doubly narrow
~%if that's what you need.  This is an example of a doubly
~%narrowed paragraph.\par}
{\narrower \narrower 如果需要，你也可以让段落缩进双倍长度。
这就是一个双倍缩进段落的例子。\par}
\vskip 1pc % Skip down one pica for visual separation.
~%In this paragraph we're back to the normal margins, as you can
~%see for yourself.  We'll let it run on a little longer so that
~%the margins are clearly visible.
在这一段，如你所见，我们返回到正常的边距状态。我们尽量让这一段
稍微长一点，这样你可以更清楚地看到边距的效果。

~%{\leftskip .5in Now we'll indent the left margin by half
~%an inch and leave the right margin at its usual position.\par}
{\leftskip .5in 现在这一段，我们将其调整为左边距为半英尺，而
右边距保持原样。\par}

~%{\rightskip .5in Finally, we'll indent the right margin by half
~%an inch and leave the left margin at its usual position.\par}

基线是一条想象出来的线，其作用类似于带横格标记的纸张上

字体设计之一。从本页的输出可以获得关于这个字体的一些直观印
象（由于译本的缘故，本页的字体并未被设为 Palatino 字体）。

~%Fonts can be provided either as outlines or as bitmaps.  An
~%outline font describes the shapes of the characters, while a
~%bitmap font specifies each pixel (dot) that makes up each
~%character.  A font outline can be used to generate many
~%different sizes of the same font.  The Metafont program
~%that's associated with \TeX\  provides a particularly
~%powerful way of generating bitmap fonts, but it's not the
~%only way.
字体既可以是轮廓字体，也可以是位图字体。轮廓字体的意思是它
描述的是各个字符的形状，而位图字体则是标识了每个字符形状所
占据的像素点。轮廓字体可用来产生同一种字体的多种不同大小。
随 \TeX\ 而发行的 metafont 程序是一个产生位图字体的强大工具，
而且它并不是唯一的工具。

~%The fact that a single outline can generate a great range of
~%point sizes for a font tempts many vendors of digital
~%typefaces to provide just one set of outlines for a typeface
~%such as Palatino Roman.  This may be a sensible economic
~%decision, but it is an aesthetic sacrifice.  Fonts cannot be
~%scaled up and down linearly without loss of quality.
~%Larger sizes of letters should not, in general, have the
~%same proportions as smaller sizes; they just don't look
~%right.  For example, a font that's linearly scaled down will
~%tend to have too little space between strokes, and its
~%x-height will be too~small. % tie added to avoid widow word
由于单一的轮廓字体文件既可生成多种不同大小的字体，因此很多
数字字体提供商倾向于仅提供字体的单一文件 ——例如 Palatino
Roman 即是如此。这也许是个经济的决定，可它却同时是个美学上
的重大牺牲。字体无法做到在不损害其显示质量的前提下，线性地
放大或者缩小。一个字符的大字体版本，通常来说，与小字体的版
本应该有不同的比例 —— 而如果我们坚持这么做的话，其结果看
起来将不会那么好看。例如：如果将一个字体线性缩小的话，其各
笔画间的间距将会显得过窄，而它的 x-height 值也会显得过小。

~%A type designer can compensate for these changes by
~%providing different outlines for different point sizes, but
~%it's necessary to go to the expense of designing these
~%different outlines.  One of the great advantages of Metafont
~%is that it's possible to parameterize the descriptions of
~%characters in a font.  Metafont can then maintain the
~%typographical quality of characters over a range of point
~%sizes by adjusting the character shapes accordingly.
字体的设计者可以为不同大小的字体设计不同的轮廓形状，从而
对这个问题进行弥补，可这同时需要付出额外的代价。使用 Metafont
程序的一个巨大的好处就是可以将字符符号形状的描述参数化。
这样在改变字体大小的时候，Metafont 可以视情况做一些自动处理，
从而得到较好的效果。

~%For a spherical triangle with sides $a$, $b$, and $c$, and
~%opposite angles $\alpha$, $\beta$, and $\gamma$, we have:
设球面三角形的三条边长度分别为$a$，$b$ 和 $c$，
它们的对角分别为 $\alpha$，$\beta$ 和 $\gamma$，我们有：
~%$$\cos \alpha = -\cos \beta \cos \gamma +

$$\cos \alpha = -\cos \beta \cos \gamma +

$$\tan {\alpha \over 2} = \sqrt{

  {\cos(\sigma - \beta) \cdot \cos(\sigma - \gamma)}},\quad
  \hbox{其中 $\sigma = {1 \over 2}(a+b+c)$}$$
~%We also have:$$\sin x = {{e^{ix}-e^{-ix}}\over 2i}$$
~%and:
~%$$\int _0 ^\infty {{\sin ax \sin bx}\over{x^2}}\,dx
~%% The \, above produces a thin space

~%The absolute value of $X$, $|x|$, is defined by:
~%$$|x| = \cases{x, &if $x\ge 0$;\cr
~%-x,&otherwise.\cr}$$
~%Now for some numbered equations.
~%It is the case that for $k \ge 0$:
~%$$x^{k^2}=\overbrace{x\>x\>\cdots\> x}^{2k\ \rm times}
~%\eqno (1)$$
$X$ 的绝对值 $|x|$ 定义为：
$$|x| = \cases{x, &if $x\ge 0$;\cr
-x,&otherwise.\cr}$$
现在写一些标号了的公式。
在 $k \ge 0$ 时，我们有：
$$x^{k^2}=\overbrace{x\>x\>\cdots\> x}^{2k\ \rm times}
\eqno (1)$$

~%Here's an example that shows some spacing controls, with
~%a number on the left:
这是一个展示空格间距调整和公式左编号的例子：
~%$$[u]!negthin[v][w]\,[x]\>[y]\;[z]\leqno(2a)$$
$$[u]!negthin[v][w]\,[x]\>[y]\;[z]\leqno(2a)$$
~%The amount of space between the items in brackets
~%gradually increases from left to right. (We've made
~%the space between the first two items be {\it less\/}
~%than the natural space.)
从做到右公式中的项和括号的距离逐步增大。
（我们把前两项的距离设定得比正常距离 {\it 少\/}。
~%It is sometimes the case that $$\leqalignno{
~%u'_1 + tu''_2 &= u'_2 + tu''_1&(2b)\cr
~%\hat\imath &\ne \hat \jmath&(2c)\cr
~%\vec {\vphantom{b}a}&\approx \vec b\cr}$$
~%% The \vphantom is an invisible rule as tall as a `b'.
有时候， $$\leqalignno{
u'_1 + tu''_2 &= u'_2 + tu''_1&(2b)\cr
\hat\imath &\ne \hat \jmath&(2c)\cr
\vec {\vphantom{b}a}&\approx \vec b\cr}$$
% \vphantom 是一个不可见的和“b”一样高的盒子。
~%The result is of order $O(n \log\log n)$. Thus
~%$$\sum_{i=1}^n x_i = x_1+x_2+\cdots+x_n
~%= {\rm Sum}(x_1,x_2,\ldots,x_n). \eqno(3)$$
结果为 $O(n \log\log n)$. 因此
$$\sum_{i=1}^n x_i = x_1+x_2+\cdots+x_n
= {\rm Sum}(x_1,x_2,\ldots,x_n). \eqno(3)$$
~%and
~%$$dx\,dy = r\,dr\,d\theta!negthin.\eqno(4)$$
~%The set of all $q$ such that $q\le0$ is written as:
~%$$\{\,q\mid q\le0\, \}$$
且
$$dx\,dy = r\,dr\,d\theta!negthin.\eqno(4)$$
满足 $q\le0$ 的所有的 $q$ 可以被写作：
$$\{\,q\mid q\le0\, \}$$
~%Thus
~%$$\forall x\exists y\;P(x,y)\Rightarrow
~%\exists x\exists y\;P(x,y)$$
~%where
~%$$P(x,y) \buildrel \rm def \over \equiv
~%\hbox{\rm any predicate in $x$ and $y$} . $$
因此
$$\forall x\exists y\;P(x,y)\Rightarrow
\exists x\exists y\;P(x,y)$$
其中
$$P(x,y) \buildrel \rm def \over \equiv
\hbox{\rm 任何一个能够得出 $x$ 和 $y$} . $$
