+# `Spectre.Console`
+
+_[![Spectre.Console NuGet Version](https://img.shields.io/nuget/v/spectre.console.svg?style=flat&label=NuGet%3A%20Spectre.Console)](https://www.nuget.org/packages/spectre.console)_
+
+`Spectre.Console`是一个 .NET 5/.NET Standard 2.0 的库，能让您在终端里更方便地生成精美的界面。
+
+深受 [Rich](https://github.com/willmcgugan/rich) 这个优秀库的启发。
+
+## 目录
+
+1. [功能](#features)
+2. [安装](#installing)
+3. [文档](#documentation)
+4. [例子](#examples)
+5. [License](#license)
+
+## 功能
+
+* 编写时考虑到了单元测试。
+* 支持 tables、grid、panel 和 [rich](https://github.com/willmcgugan/rich) 所支持的标记语言。
+* 支持大部分的 SRG 参数，包括粗体、暗淡字、斜体、下划线、删除线和闪烁文本。
+* 支持终端显示 3/4/8/24 位色。自动检测终端类型，自适应颜色范围。
+
+![例子](resources/gfx/screenshots/example.png)
+
+## 安装
+
+最快的安装方式，就是用NuGet包管理直接安装Spectre.Console。
+
+```csharp
+dotnet add package Spectre.Console
+```
+
+## 文档
+
+`Spectre.Console`的文档可以在这里查看
+https://spectresystems.github.io/spectre.console/
+
+## 例子
+
+如果想直接运行`Spectre.Console`的例子，则需要安装[dotnet-example](https://github.com/patriksvensson/dotnet-example)工具。
+
+```
+> dotnet tool restore
+```
+
+然后你可以列出仓库里的所有例子：
+
+```
+> dotnet example
+```
+
+跑一个看看效果：

+Title: Spinners
+Order: 4

+
+For all available spinners, see https://jsfiddle.net/sindresorhus/2eLtsbey/embedded/result/
+
+# Usage
+
+Spinners can be used with [Progress](xref:progress) and [Status](xref:status).
+
+```csharp
+AnsiConsole.Status()
+    .Spinner(Spinner.Known.Star)
+    .Start("Thinking...", ctx => {
+        // Omitted
+    });
+```
+
+# Implementing a spinner
+
+To implement your own spinner, all you have to do is 
+inherit from the `Spinner` base class.
+
+In the example below, the spinner will alterate between
+the characters `A`, `B` and `C` every 100 ms.
+
+```csharp
+public sealed class MySpinner : Spinner
+{
+    // The interval for each frame
+    public override TimeSpan Interval => TimeSpan.FromMilliseconds(100);
+    
+    // Whether or not the spinner contains unicode characters
+    public override bool IsUnicode => false;
+
+    // The individual frames of the spinner
+    public override IReadOnlyList<string> Frames => 
+        new List<string>
+        {
+            "A", "B", "C",
+        };
+}
+```
