taxonomy 英 [tækˈsɒnəmi] 分类学；分类法；分类系统

Sauces are a great example of the way cooks use their professional terminology.
In chapter 1, I briefly discussed sauce béarnaise, but I didn’t elaborate on the taxonomy that surrounds it

fuzzy 英['fʌzi] adj.覆有绒毛的；毛茸茸的；紧鬈的；拳曲的；模糊的

Requirements change and are often fuzzy.

cornerstone n.基石；基础；奠基石；最重要部分

In the previous section, I discussed how loose coupling is important, and how programming to an interface is the cornerstone.

controversial 英 [ˌkɒntrəˈvɜːʃl] adj.有争议的，引发争论的

The idea of building loosely coupled code isn’t particularly controversial, but there’s a huge gap between intent
and practice.

reinforces 英 [ˌriːɪnˈfɔːs] vt.加固; 强化，增强; 增援

This only reinforces the hard-coded dependency, but, at this point, the damage is already
done. What we need is a better way to compose modules without such tight coupling.
