-How to Use Awk to Print Fields and Columns in File
+如何使用 Awk 打印文件中的字段和列
 ===================================================
 
-In this part of our [Linux Awk command series][1], we shall have a look at one of the most important features of Awk, which is field editing.
+在 [Linux Awk 命令系列介绍][1] 的这部分，我们来看一下 awk 最重要的功能之一，字段编辑。
 
-It is good to know that Awk automatically divides input lines provided to it into fields, and a field can be defined as a set of characters that are separated from other fields by an internal field separator.
+首先我们要知道 Awk 会自动把输入的行切分为字段，字段可以定义为是一些字符集，这些字符集和其它字段被内部字段分隔符分离。

-If you are familiar with the Unix/Linux or do [bash shell programming][2], then you should know what internal field separator (IFS) variable is. The default IFS in Awk are tab and space.
+如果你熟悉 Unix/Linux 或者懂得 [bash shell 编程][2]，那么你也应该知道内部字段分隔符（IFS）变量。Awk 默认的 IFS 是 tab 和空格。
 
-This is how the idea of field separation works in Awk: when it encounters an input line, according to the IFS defined, the first set of characters is field one, which is accessed using $1, the second set of characters is field two, which is accessed using $2, the third set of characters is field three, which is accessed using $3 and so forth till the last set of character(s).
+Awk 字段切分的工作原理如下：当获得一行输入时，根据定义的 IFS，第一个字符集是字段一，用 $1 表示，第二个字符集是字段二，用 $2 表示，第三个字符集是字段三，用 $3 表示，以此类推直到最后一个字符集。

-Then from the command line, I try to print the first, second and third fields from the file tecmintinfo.txt using the command below:
+然后在命令行中使用以下命令打印 tecmintinfo.txt 文件中的第一、第二和第三个字段。
 
 ```
 $ awk '//{print $1 $2 $3 }' tecmintinfo.txt
 TecMint.comisthe
 ```
+从上面的输出中你可以看到，三个字段中的第一个是按照定义的 IFS，也就是空格，打印的。
 
-From the output above, you can see that the characters from the first three fields are printed based on the IFS defined which is space:
+- 字段一 “TecMint.com” 使用 $1 访问。
+- 字段二 “is” 通过 $2 访问。
+- 字段三 “the” 通过 $3 访问。
 
-- Field one which is “TecMint.com” is accessed using $1.
-- Field two which is “is” is accessed using $2.
-- Field three which is “the” is accessed using $3.
+如果你注意打印的输出，可以看到字段值之间并没有分隔开，这是 print 默认的方式。
 
-If you have noticed in the printed output, the field values are not separated and this is how print behaves by default.

-To view the output clearly with space between the field values, you need to add (,) operator as follows:
