+这篇文档描述了怎样使用 Mixer 配置表达式语言(CEXL)。
-## Background
+## 底层{#background}
-Mixer configuration uses an expression language (CEXL) to specify match expressions and [mapping expressions](/docs/reference/config/policy-and-telemetry/mixer-overview/#attribute-expressions). CEXL expressions map a set of typed [attributes](/docs/reference/config/policy-and-telemetry/mixer-overview/#attributes) and constants to a typed
-[value](https://github.com/istio/api/blob/{{< source_branch_name >}}/policy/v1beta1/value_type.proto).
+Mixer 配置使用了一种表达式语言(CEXL)去描述 match expressions 以及 [mapping expressions](/zh/docs/reference/config/policy-and-telemetry/mixer-overview/#attribute-expressions)。
+CEXL 表达式为有类型的[值](https://github.com/istio/api/blob/{{< source_branch_name >}}/policy/v1beta1/value_type.proto)映射了一组带类型的[属性](/zh/docs/reference/config/policy-and-telemetry/mixer-overview/#attributes)和常量。
-## Syntax
+## 语法{#syntax}
-CEXL accepts a subset of **[Go expressions](https://golang.org/ref/spec#Expressions)**, which defines the syntax. CEXL implements a subset of the Go operators that constrains the set of accepted Go expressions. CEXL also supports arbitrary parenthesization.
+CEXL 使用 **[Go 表达式](https://golang.org/ref/spec#Expressions)**的一个子集作为语法。
+CEXL 实现了一组 Go 操作符来限制这部分有限的 Go 表达式。
+CEXL 同样支持任意的括号。
-## Functions
+## 函数{#functions}
-CEXL supports the following functions.
+CEXL 支持如下函数。

-## Type checking
+## 类型检查{#type-checking}
-CEXL variables are attributes from the typed [attribute vocabulary](/docs/reference/config/policy-and-telemetry/attribute-vocabulary/), constants are implicitly typed and, functions are explicitly typed.
+CEXL 变量是[属性词汇表](/zh/docs/reference/config/policy-and-telemetry/attribute-vocabulary/)中的某个属性，常量是隐式类型，函数是显式类型。
-Mixer validates a CEXL expression and resolves it to a type during configuration validation.
-Selectors must resolve to a boolean value and mapping expressions must resolve to the type they are mapping into. Configuration validation fails if a selector fails to resolve to a boolean or if a mapping expression resolves to an incorrect type.
+Mixer 验证 CEXL 表达式的语法并在配置验证期间解析为一个类型。
+选择器必须解析为 boolean 类型且 mapping expressions 必须解析为它所映射的类型。当选择器解析为 boolean 类型失败或 mapping expression 解析为不正确的类型时配置验证将失败。
-For example, if an operator specifies a *string* label as `request.size | 200`, validation fails because the expression resolves to an integer.
+比如，如果一个操作人员指定了一个 *string* 标签为 `request.size | 200`，这个表达式解析为 integer 类型从而验证将失败。
-## Missing attributes
+## 属性缺失{#missing-attributes}
-If an expression uses an attribute that is not available during request processing, the expression evaluation fails. Use the `|` operator to provide a default value if an attribute may be missing.
+如果表达式使用了一个在请求处理期间不可用的属性，则表达式将执行失败。如果属性可能缺失，请使用`|`运算符提供默认值。
-For example, the expression `request.auth.principal == "user1"` fails evaluation if the `request.auth.principal` attribute is missing. The `|` (OR) operator addresses the problem: `(request.auth.principal | "nobody" ) == "user1"`.
+比如，如果表达式 `request.auth.principal` 属性是缺失的则 `request.auth.principal == "user1"` 将执行失败。`|` (或) 运算符可以处理这个问题： `(request.auth.principal | "nobody" ) == "user1"`。
-## Examples
+## 例子{#examples}
-|Expression |Return Type |Description|
+|表达式 |返回类型 |描述|
|-----------|------------|-----------|
-|`request.size` | 200 | **int** | `request.size` if available, otherwise 200.
+|`request.size` | 200 | **int** | `request.size` 在可用时返回其值，否则返回 200。
|`request.headers["x-forwarded-host"] == "myhost"`| **boolean**
-|`(request.headers["x-user-group"] == "admin")` || `(request.auth.principal == "admin")`| **boolean**| True if the user is admin or in the admin group.
-|`(request.auth.principal` | `"nobody" ) == "user1"` | **boolean** | True if `request.auth.principal` is "user1", The expression will not error out if `request.auth.principal` is missing.
-|`source.labels["app"]=="reviews" && source.labels["version"]=="v3"`| **boolean** | True if app label is reviews and version label is v3, false otherwise.
+|`(request.headers["x-user-group"] == "admin")` || `(request.auth.principal == "admin")`| **boolean**| user 是 admin 或属于 admin 组时 结果为 True。
+|`(request.auth.principal` | `"nobody" ) == "user1"` | **boolean** | 如果 `request.auth.principal` 是 "user1" 则结果是 True，且 `request.auth.principal` 属性缺失时不会报错。
+|`source.labels["app"]=="reviews" && source.labels["version"]=="v3"`| **boolean** | 如果 app label 是 reviews 且 version label 是 v3 则结果是 True， 否则是 false。
