* Real Programmers don't write in COBOL. COBOL is for gum chewing twits who maintain ancient payroll programs.
真正的程式設計師不用cobol。cobol只能用來維護遠古的工資程式。
* Real Programmers don't write in FORTRAN. FORTRAN is for wimpy engineers who wear white socks. The get excited over finite state analysis and nuclear reactor simulations.
真正的程式設計師不寫fortran程式。fortran是讓畏縮的白領工程師用的。 那些人只鍾情於有限的狀態分析和核反應堆模擬。
* Real Programmers don't write in Modula-2. Modula-2 is for insecure analretentives who can't choose between Pascal and COBOL.
真正的程式設計師不用modula-2程式設計。modula-2集合了pascal和cobol的缺點。
* Real Programmers don't write in APL, unlethe whole program can be written on one line.
真正的程式設計師不寫apl程式，除非他能在一行內把一個程式寫完。
* Real Programmers don't write in Lisp. Only effeminate programmers use more parentheses than actual code.
真正的程式設計師不用lisp程式設計。只有女人氣的程式設計師才會用的括號比程式碼還多。
* for compulsive neurotics who were prematurely toilet trained. They wear neckties and carefully line up sharppencils on an otherwise clear desk.
真正的程式設計師鄙視結構化程式設計。結構化程式設計是讓過早被訓練怎樣上廁所的強迫性精神病患者用的。那些人在工作前要打好領帶，然後小心翼翼地在另一張書桌上削鉛筆。
* Real Programmers scorn floating point arithmetic. The decimal point was invented for pansy bedwetters who are unable to think big.
真正的程式設計師鄙視浮點運算。十進位制是為蠢人而發明的。
* Real Programmers know every nuance of every instruction and use them all in every Real Program. Some candyaarchitectures won't allow EXECUTE instructions to addreanother EXECUTE instruction as the target instruction. Real Programmers despise petty restrictions.
真正的程式設計師深諳指令之間的細微差別，而且非在寫的每一個程式中都體現出來不可。有些編譯器不允許EXECUTE指令象對目標指令那樣對另一個EXECUTE指令定址。真正的程式設計師對這種限制熟記於心。
* Real Programmers Don't use PL/I. PL/I is for insecure momma's boys who can't choose between Cobol and Fortran.
真正的程式設計師不用PL/I。PL/I是讓偎依在媽媽身邊的小男孩在無法從cobol和pascal中選擇時用的。
* Real Programmers don't like the team programming concept. Unless, of course, they are the Chief Programmer.
能擺平那些有心智缺陷的人，比如那些資深的策劃者（他們很愛“教導”程式設計師們）。
* Real programmers ignore schedules.
真正的程式設計師不按日程表辦事。
* Real Programmers don't bring brown bag lunches to work. If the vending machine sells it, they eat it. If the vending machine doesn't sell it, they don't eat it.
真正的.程式設計師不帶午餐上班。有得吃就吃，沒得吃就餓著。
* Real Programmers think better when playing Adventure or Rogue.
真正的程式設計師在冒險和滋事時腦子最聰明。
* Real Programmers use C since it's the easiest language to spell.
真正的程式設計師用C，因為C是最容易拼的語言，只有一個字母。
* Real Programmers don't use symbolic debuggers, who needs symbols.
真正的程式設計師不用符號化的偵錯程式，因為它竟需要符號。
* Real Programmers only curse at inanimate objects.
真正的程式設計師只詛咒死氣沉沉的東西。
