-PyYAML
-======
-
-A full-featured YAML processing framework for Python
-
-## Installation
-
-To install, type `python setup.py install`.
-
-By default, the `setup.py` script checks whether LibYAML is installed and if
-so, builds and installs LibYAML bindings.
-To skip the check and force installation of LibYAML bindings, use the option
-`--with-libyaml`: `python setup.py --with-libyaml install`.
-To disable the check and skip building and installing LibYAML bindings, use
-`--without-libyaml`: `python setup.py --without-libyaml install`.
-
-When LibYAML bindings are installed, you may use fast LibYAML-based parser and
-emitter as follows:
-
-    >>> yaml.load(stream, Loader=yaml.CLoader)
-    >>> yaml.dump(data, Dumper=yaml.CDumper)
-
-If you don't trust the input YAML stream, you should use:
-
-    >>> yaml.safe_load(stream)
-
-## Testing
-
-PyYAML includes a comprehensive test suite.
-To run the tests, type `python setup.py test`.
-

 PyYAML
 ======
 
-PyYAML是一套基于Python实现的全能YAML处理框架。
+A full-featured YAML processing framework for Python
 
-## 安装
+## Installation
 
-您可以通过执行`python setup.py install`完成LibYAML的安装。
+To install, type `python setup.py install`.
 
-默认情况下，`setup.py`会检查LibYAML是否已安装，在LibYAML已安装的情况下会自动构建及安装LibYAML bindings。
+By default, the `setup.py` script checks whether LibYAML is installed and if
+so, builds and installs LibYAML bindings.
+To skip the check and force installation of LibYAML bindings, use the option
+`--with-libyaml`: `python setup.py --with-libyaml install`.
+To disable the check and skip building and installing LibYAML bindings, use
+`--without-libyaml`: `python setup.py --without-libyaml install`.
 
-如果想忽略相应的检查直接安装LibYAML bindings，可以执行以下命令：
-
-`--with-libyaml`: `python setup.py --with-libyaml install`。
-
-如果想关闭检查且忽略构建及安装LibYAML bindings，可以执行以下命令：
-
-`--without-libyaml`: `python setup.py --without-libyaml install`。
-
-当LibYAML bindings成功安装之后，你可以按照以下方式进行YAML流的加载解析：
+When LibYAML bindings are installed, you may use fast LibYAML-based parser and
+emitter as follows:
 
     >>> yaml.load(stream, Loader=yaml.CLoader)
     >>> yaml.dump(data, Dumper=yaml.CDumper)
 
-如果您不是很信任某个YAML输入流，可以通过安全模式进行加载：
+If you don't trust the input YAML stream, you should use:
 
     >>> yaml.safe_load(stream)
 
-## 测试
+## Testing
 
-PyYAML包含完整的测试套件，您可以通过执行 `python setup.py test`可以完成相应的测试用例的执行。
+PyYAML includes a comprehensive test suite.
+To run the tests, type `python setup.py test`.
