 # App shell
 
+# 应用外壳
+
+
 App shell is a way to render a portion of your application via a route at build time.
 It can improve the user experience by quickly launching a static rendered page (a skeleton common to all pages) while the browser downloads the full client version and switches to it automatically after the code loads.
 
+应用外壳是一种在构建期间借助路由渲染部分应用的方法。它可以通过快速启动一个静态渲染页面（所有页面的公共骨架）来改善用户体验。与此同时，浏览器会下载完整的客户端版本，并在代码加载后自动切换到完整版。
+

 This gives users a meaningful first paint of your application that appears quickly because the browser can simply render the HTML and CSS without the need to initialize any JavaScript.

 ## Step 3: Verify the app is built with the shell content
 
+## 第 3 步：验证该应用是使用应用外壳的内容构建的
+
+
 Use the CLI to build the `app-shell` target.
 
+使用 CLI 构建目标 `app-shell`。
+

 <code-example format="." language="bash" linenums="false">
 ng run my-app:app-shell

 To verify the build output, open `dist/my-app/index.html`. Look for default text `app-shell works!` to show that the app shell route was rendered as part of the output.

+要验证构建的输出，请打开 `dist/my-app/index.html`。寻找默认的文本 `app-shell works!` 就可以验证这个应用外壳路由确实是作为输出的一部分渲染出来的。
