-Elixir is a modern functional language built on top of the Erlang VM.
-It's fully compatible with Erlang, but features a more standard syntax
-and many more features.
+Elixir 是一门构建在Elang VM 之上的函数式编程语言。Elixir 完全兼容 Eralng, 
+另外还提供了更标准的语法，特性。

-# Single line comments start with a hashtag.
+# 这是单行注释, 注释以井号开头
 
-# There's no multi-line comment,
-# but you can stack multiple comments.
+# 没有多行注释
+# 但你可以堆叠多个注释。
 
-# To use the elixir shell use the `iex` command.
-# Compile your modules with the `elixirc` command.
+# elixir shell 使用命令 `iex` 进入。
+# 编译模块使用 `elixirc` 命令。
 
-# Both should be in your path if you installed elixir correctly.

-# Atoms, that are literals, a constant with name. They start with `:`.
+# 原子(Atoms)，以 `:`开头
 :hello # atom
 
 # Tuples that are stored contiguously in memory.
 {1,2,3} # tuple
 
-# We can access a tuple element with the `elem` function:
+# 使用`elem`函数访问元组(tuple)里的元素:
 elem({1, 2, 3}, 0) #=> 1
 
-# Lists that are implemented as linked lists.
+# 列表(list)
 [1,2,3] # list
 
-# We can access the head and tail of a list as follows:
+# 可以用下面的方法访问列表的头尾元素:
 [head | tail] = [1,2,3]
 head #=> 1
 tail #=> [2,3]
 
-# In elixir, just like in Erlang, the `=` denotes pattern matching and
-# not an assignment.
+# 在elixir,就像在Erlang, `=` 表示模式匹配 (pattern matching) 
+# 不是赋值。
 #
 # This means that the left-hand side (pattern) is matched against a
 # right-hand side.
 #
 # This is how the above example of accessing the head and tail of a list works.
 
-# A pattern match will error when the sides don't match, in this example
-# the tuples have different sizes.
+# 当左右两边不匹配时，会返回error, 在这个
+# 例子中，元组大小不一样。
 # {a, b, c} = {1, 2} #=> ** (MatchError) no match of right hand side value: {1,2}
 
-# There's also binaries
+# 还有二进制类型 (binaries)
 <<1,2,3>> # binary
 
-# Strings and char lists
+# 字符串(Strings) 和 字符列表(char lists)
 "hello" # string
 'hello' # char list
 
-# Multi-line strings
+# 多行字符串
 """

 string.

 #=> "I'm a multi-line\nstring.\n"
 
-# Strings are all encoded in UTF-8:
+# 所有的字符串(Strings)以UTF-8编码：
 "héllò" #=> "héllò"
 
-# Strings are really just binaries, and char lists are just lists.
+# 字符串(Strings)本质就是二进制类型(binaries), 字符列表(char lists)本质是列表(lists)
 <<?a, ?b, ?c>> #=> "abc"
 [?a, ?b, ?c]   #=> 'abc'
 
-# `?a` in elixir returns the ASCII integer for the letter `a`
+# 在 elixir中，`?a`返回 `a` 的 ASCII 整型值  
 ?a #=> 97
 
-# To concatenate lists use `++`, for binaries use `<>`
+# 合并列表使用 `++`, 对于二进制类型则使用 `<>`
