 ![Set Up Time Synchronization On Ubuntu][1]
 
-You might have set up [**cron jobs**][2] that runs at a specific time to backup important files or perform any system related tasks. Or, you might have configured a [**log server to rotate the logs**][3] out of your system at regular interval time. If your clock is out-of-sync, these jobs will not execute at the desired time. This is why setting up a correct time zone on the Linux systems and keep the clock synchronized with Internet is important. This guide describes how to set up time synchronization on Ubuntu Linux. The steps given below have been tested on Ubuntu 18.04, however they are same for other Ubuntu-based systems that uses systemd’s **timesyncd** service.
+你可能设置过 [**cron 任务**][2] 来在特定时间备份重要文件或执行系统相关任务。也许你配置了一个[**日志服务**][3]在特定时间间隔轮转日志。如果你的时钟不同步，这些任务将无法按时执行。这就是要在 Linux 系统上设置正确的时区并保持时钟与 Internet 同步的原因。本指南介绍如何在 Ubuntu Linux 上设置时间同步。下面的步骤已经在 Ubuntu 18.04 上进行了测试，但是对于使用 systemd 的 **timesyncd** 服务的其他基于 Ubuntu 的系统它们是相同的。
 
-### Set Up Time Synchronization On Ubuntu
 
-Usually, we set time zone during installation. You can however change it or set different time zone if you want to.
+### 在 Ubuntu 上设置时间同步
 
-First, let us see the current time zone in our Ubuntu system using “date” command:
+通常，我们在安装时设置时区。但是，你可以根据需要更改或设置不同的时区。
+
+首先，让我们使用 “date” 命令查看 Ubuntu 系统中的当前时区：
 
 ```
 $ date
 ```
 
-Sample output:
+示例输出：
 
 ```
 Tue Jul 30 11:47:39 UTC 2019
 ```
 
-As you see in the above output, the “date” command shows the actual date as well as the current time. Here, my current time zone is **UTC** which stands for **Coordinated Universal Time**.
+如上所见，“date” 命令显示实际日期和当前时间。这里，我当前的时区是 **UTC**，代表**协调世界时**。
 
-Alternatively, you can look up the **/etc/timezone** file to find the current time zone.
+或者，你可以在 **/etc/timezone** 文件中查找当前时区。
 
 ```
 $ cat /etc/timezone
 UTC
 ```
 
-Now, let us see if the clock is synchronized with Internet. To do so, simply run:
+现在，让我们看看时钟是否与 Internet 同步。只需运行：
 
 ```
 $ timedatectl
 ```

-As you can see, the “timedatectl” command displays the local time, universal time, time zone and whether the system clock is synchronized with Internet servers and if the **systemd-timesyncd.service** is active or inactive. In my case, the system clock is synchronizing with Internet time servers.
