2. Most discrete-selection systems implement mutual exclusion by default and allow additive selection only by using a meta-key.
多数离散选择系统默认情况下采用互斥机制,只有使用元键时才允许添加选择。

3. This is the normal state of affairs for list controls. Their standard mode of selection is mutual exclusion, so when you select one thing, the previous selected thing is deselected.
标准的选择模态是相互排斥的,所以当你选择一个事物时,先前选定的事物就会取消。

4. However, if there is no mutual exclusion for interactions involving discrete selection, a user can select many independent objects by clicking on them sequentially, in what is called additive selection.
但是如果在离散选择时关闭互斥,用户可以连续单击对象来选择多个独立对象,称之为“添加选择”。

5. Check boxes communicate their purposes and their settings quite clearly and, like all good idioms, are extremely easy to learn. Check boxes are also very clearly disassociated from any hint of mutual exclusion.
复选框清楚地表达了其目的和设置。 和所有好的习惯用法一样,它掌握起来极其容易,复选框也清晰地区分于任何相互排斥的提示。

6. This behavior is called mutual exclusion, as the selection of one excludes the selection of the other.
这种行为称为“互斥”,也就是一个选择排斥另一个选择。

7. Mutual exclusion is the rule in both discrete and contiguous selection.
互斥对离散选择和连续选择都适用。

8. Mutual exclusion is often appropriate for contiguous selection because users cannot see or know what effect their actions will have if selections can readily be scrolled off the screen.
互斥在连续选择中通常是很适合的,因为如果用户的选择可能会轻易地滚动出屏幕,用户就不可能看见或者知道其操作会有什么结果。

9. When the need arises to discard mutual exclusivity in order to provide multiple selection, things can become confusing if some of the items can be scrolled out of sight.
当为了提供多重选择而需要抛弃相互排斥性时,如果有些条目会被滚出屏幕外,事情就会变得更加复杂起来。

10. In consequence of mutual exclusion, radio buttons always come in groups of two or more, and one radio button in each group is always selected.
因为相互排斥,所以单选按钮总以两个或多个成组出现,而且每组中只有一个单选按钮可被选中。
