socket 套接字；stack 栈；overflow 溢出；overwrite 重写；pattern 模式；response 响应；request 请求。大部分也是有中文翻译的。我的意思是为什么不试着翻译呢？或者有没有人曾经翻译过呢？

I agree with @prettypig that lots of these words have conventional Chinese translations, even though practitioners sometimes just use English. For "promise" specifically though, I can't find any real tutorials that refer to it in Chinese rather than the English "Promise".

@prettypig 因为在职场上没人这么说.  随便找个论坛试试你就知道了.  还有:docker,  k8s,  github,  git repo.  commit.

一些编程相关的名词是有官方的汉语翻译的，像“类（class）”、“封装（encapsulation）”、“返回值（return value）”等等，只是不知道国人有没有一致的对Promise的翻译。我个人的话会称之为“承诺”。“This is a promise-based API” =>　”这是一个基于承诺的API”

<p>The improvised translation would seem to be &quot;promise object&quot;: 承諾物件, though in cases where one is referring to literal code (e.g., in HTML as <code>&lt;code&gt;Promise&lt;/code&gt; object</code>) it should be left untranslated.</p>

<https://axios-http.com/> In this website, it introduce `axios` as `a simple promise based HTTP client for the browser and node.js.` So, how can we translate `promise` here?

> Axios is a simple promise based HTTP client for the browser and node.js. Axios provides a simple to use library in a small package with a very extensible interface. -https://axios-http.com/

> Axios 是一个基于 promise 的网络请求库，可以用于浏览器和 node.js。—— <https://axios-http.com/docs/intro>

In my opinion, `promise` means a tool to retrive HTTP requests and responde to clients.

The improvised translation would seem to be "promise object": 承諾物件, though in cases where one is referring to literal code (e.g., in HTML as `<code>Promise</code> object`) it should be left untranslated.

Other than "承诺", "約定", promise also means "预示" - "预先显示" (事物在酝酿产生的过程中、在形成之前，在初始孕育阶段所显现的短暂而轻微的征象.)

You can check to see if this interpretation fits the context or not.
