-Now the clock ticks every second.
+現在我們的 clock 每秒鐘都會滴答作響。
 
-Let's quickly recap what's going on and the order in which the methods are called:
+讓我們快速的回顧一下發生了哪些事情，以及呼叫這些方法的順序：
 
-1) When `<Clock />` is passed to `ReactDOM.render()`, React calls the constructor of the `Clock` component. Since `Clock` needs to display the current time, it initializes `this.state` with an object including the current time. We will later update this state.
+1) 當 `<Clock />` 被傳入到 `ReactDOM.render()` 時，React 會呼叫 `Clock` component 的constructor。由於 `Clock` 需要顯示目前的時間，它使用包含目前時間的 object 初始化 `this.state`。我們會在之後更新這個 state。
 
-2) React then calls the `Clock` component's `render()` method. This is how React learns what should be displayed on the screen. React then updates the DOM to match the `Clock`'s render output.
+2) React 接著呼叫 `Clock` component 的 `render()` 方法。這就是 React 如何了解應該要在螢幕上顯示什麼內容。React 接著更新 DOM 來符合 `Clock` 的 render 輸出。
 
-3) When the `Clock` output is inserted in the DOM, React calls the `componentDidMount()` lifecycle method. Inside it, the `Clock` component asks the browser to set up a timer to call the component's `tick()` method once a second.
+3) 每當 `Clock` 輸出被插入到 DOM 時，React 會呼叫 `componentDidMount()` 生命週期方法。在 `Clock` component 生命週期方法內，會要求瀏覽器設定 timer 每秒去呼叫 component 的 `tick()` 方法。
 
-4) Every second the browser calls the `tick()` method. Inside it, the `Clock` component schedules a UI update by calling `setState()` with an object containing the current time. Thanks to the `setState()` call, React knows the state has changed, and calls the `render()` method again to learn what should be on the screen. This time, `this.state.date` in the `render()` method will be different, and so the render output will include the updated time. React updates the DOM accordingly.
+4) 瀏覽器每秒呼叫 `tick()` 方法。其中，`Clock` component 透過包含目前時間的 object 呼叫 `setState()` 來調度 UI 更新。感謝 `setState()`，React 現在知道 state 有所改變，並且再一次呼叫 `render()` 方法來了解哪些內容該呈現在螢幕上。這時候，在 `render()` 方法內的 `this.state.date` 將會有所不同，因此 render 輸出將會是更新的時間。React 相應地更新 DOM。
 
-5) If the `Clock` component is ever removed from the DOM, React calls the `componentWillUnmount()` lifecycle method so the timer is stopped.
+5) 如果 `Clock` component 從 DOM 被移除了，React 會呼叫 `componentWillUnmount()` 生命週期方法，所以 timer 會被停止。
