A Consistent Definition for Consistency
一致性的一致定義
What Is It and Why Is It Important?
它是什麼？ 為何它如此重要？
Consistency is essential to reducing the cognitive load of your inter- face. When your design is consistent, every interaction feels smooth and frictionless. When it is too inconsistent, the user must expend unnecessary effort.
一致性對於減輕您介面的認知負荷是極為重要，當您的設計一致，每次互動會感覺到平穩無摩擦；當它太過不一致時，使用者必須花費不必要的精力。
But consistency in interaction design is a little more specific than simply doing the same things over and over – there are particular kinds of consistency, and particular fields in which consistency is more important than others.
但在互動設計中的一致性比單純地一次又一次做同一件事更具體一點，有特別形式以及特別領域的一致性，其一致性比其它更重要。
On top of that, doing the same things over and over will yield boring, uniform designs. You need to know when to break the consistency without leading to design chaos. The key, as is most often the case in design, is balance.
不僅如此，重複做同樣一件事會產生無聊、均一性設計。你需要知道何時沒有帶往設計混亂地打破一致性。
這關鍵，就像設計中常見的案例，是平衡。

In this chapter, we’ll go into details about what consistency means for interaction design, why it’s important, and describe the two types of consistency and how they should influence your design.
在本章，我們將深究關於一致性對互動設計有何意義、為何如此重要、描述兩種形式的一致性以及它們如何影響到你的設計。
