What to Submit
On-Topic: Anything that good hackers would find interesting. That includes more than hacking and startups. If you had to reduce it to a sentence, the answer might be: anything that gratifies one’s intellectual curiosity.
相关话题：任何能引起优秀黑客兴趣的内容，不仅限于黑客和创业公司。简单来说，就是任何能满足智力好奇心的东西。
Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, or celebrities, unless they’re evidence of some interesting new phenomenon. Videos of pratfalls or disasters, or cute animal pictures. If they’d cover it on TV news, it’s probably off-topic.
不相关话题：大多数关于政治、犯罪、体育或名人的故事，除非它们展示了某种有趣的新现象。摔倒或灾难的视频，以及可爱动物的图片。如果这些内容在电视新闻中会被报道，它们可能就不相关。
In Submissions
Please don’t do things to make titles stand out, like using uppercase or exclamation points, or saying how great an article is. It’s implicit in submitting something that you think it’s important.
请不要通过使用大写字母、感叹号或夸赞文章来让标题突出。提交时已表明你认为它重要。
Please submit the original source. If a post reports on something found on another site, submit the latter.
请提交原始来源。如果帖子引用了其他网站的内容，请提交那个网站的链接。
Please don’t use HN primarily for promotion. It’s ok to post your own stuff part of the time, but the primary use of the site should be for curiosity.
请不要将 HN 主要用于推广。发布自己的内容是可以的，但网站主要用途应是满足好奇心。
If the title includes the name of the site, please take it out, because the site name will be displayed after the link.
如果标题中包含网站名称，请去掉，因为网站名称会在链接后显示。
If the title contains a gratuitous number or number + adjective, we’d appreciate it if you’d crop it. E.g. translate “10 Ways To Do X” to “How To Do X,” and “14 Amazing Ys” to “Ys.” Exception: when the number is meaningful, e.g. “The 5 Platonic Solids.”
如果标题中有不必要的数字或数字+形容词，请删减。例如，将“10种方法做X”改为“如何做X”，将“14个惊人的Y”改为“Y”。例外情况：当数字有意义时，例如“5个柏拉图立体”。
Otherwise please use the original title, unless it is misleading or linkbait; don’t editorialize.
请使用原始标题，除非它具有误导性或诱导点击；不要自行修改。
If you submit a video or pdf, please warn us by appending [video] or [pdf] to the title.
如果提交视频或pdf，请在标题后加上[video]或[pdf]以提醒我们。
Please don’t post on HN to ask or tell us something. Send it to [email protected].
请不要在HN上发帖询问或告知我们，请发送邮件至[email protected]。
Please don’t delete and repost. Deletion is for things that shouldn’t have been submitted in the first place.
请不要删除并重新发布。删除仅适用于不应提交的内容。
Don’t solicit upvotes, comments, or submissions. Users should vote and comment when they run across something they personally find interesting—not for promotion.
不要请求点赞、评论或提交。用户应在他们发现有趣的内容时进行投票和评论，而不是为了推广。
In Comments
Be kind. Don’t be snarky. Converse curiously; don’t cross-examine. Edit out swipes.
保持友善，不要挖苦。以好奇心交流，避免盘问。去除攻击性言辞。
Comments should get more thoughtful and substantive, not less, as a topic gets more divisive.
随着话题的争议性增加，评论应变得更深刻和有内容，而非相反。
When disagreeing, please reply to the argument instead of calling names. “That is idiotic; 1 + 1 is 2, not 3” can be shortened to “1 + 1 is 2, not 3.”
不同意见时，请针对论点而非人身攻击。比如，“1 + 1 是 2，不是 3”即可代替“那是愚蠢的；1 + 1 是 2，不是 3”。
Please don’t fulminate. Please don’t sneer, including at the rest of the community.
请不要激烈抨击或讥讽他人，包括社区成员。
Please respond to the strongest plausible interpretation of what someone says, not a weaker one that’s easier to criticize. Assume good faith.
回应时，请选择对方话语中最合理的解释，而非易于批评的弱点。假定对方是善意的。
Eschew flamebait. Avoid generic tangents. Omit internet tropes.
避免引战和泛泛而谈，省略网络陈词滥调。
Please don’t post shallow dismissals, especially of other people’s work. A good critical comment teaches us something.
不要发表肤浅的否定，尤其是对他人工作的否定。好的批评性评论应能带来启发。
Please don’t use Hacker News for political or ideological battle. That tramples curiosity.
请不要将 Hacker News 用于政治或意识形态的争论，这会扼杀好奇心。

Please don’t pick the most provocative thing in an article or post to complain about in the thread. Find something interesting to respond to instead.
请不要在评论中挑选文章中最具挑衅性的内容抱怨，而应找一些有趣的内容来回应。
Throwaway accounts are ok for sensitive information, but please don’t create accounts routinely. HN is a community—users should have an identity that others can relate to.
临时账号可用于敏感信息，但请不要频繁创建账号。HN 是一个社区，用户应有一个可以被他人识别的身份。
Please don’t use uppercase for emphasis. If you want to emphasize a word or phrase, put asterisks around it and it will get italicized.
请不要用大写字母来强调。要强调一个词或短语，请用星号将其包围，使其斜体化。
Please don’t post insinuations about astroturfing, shilling, brigading, foreign agents, and the like. It degrades discussion and is usually mistaken. If you’re worried about abuse, email [email protected] and we’ll look at the data.
请不要发布关于伪装宣传、托儿、团体操控、外国代理等的暗示。这会降低讨论质量，而且通常是错误的。如果你担心滥用，请发邮件至 [email protected]，我们会查看数据。
Please don’t complain that a submission is inappropriate. If a story is spam or off-topic, flag it. Don’t feed egregious comments by replying; flag them instead. If you flag, please don’t also comment that you did.
请不要抱怨提交内容不合适。如果一个故事是垃圾邮件或与主题无关，请标记它。不要通过回复来助长恶劣评论，而是标记它们。如果你标记了，请不要评论你这样做了。
Please don’t complain about tangential annoyances—e.g. article or website formats, name collisions, or back-button breakage. They’re too common to be interesting.
请不要抱怨无关的烦恼，例如文章或网站格式、名称冲突或返回按钮失效。这些太常见了，没什么意思。
Please don’t comment about the voting on comments. It never does any good, and it makes boring reading.
请不要评论关于评论的投票。这从来没有好处，而且让人觉得无聊。
Please don’t post comments saying that HN is turning into Reddit. It’s a semi-noob illusion, as old as the hills.
请不要说 HN 正在变成 Reddit。这是一个由来已久的新手错觉。
