-Portals provide a first-class way to render children into a DOM node that exists outside the DOM hierarchy of the parent component.
+Portal 提供了一种将子节点渲染到存在于父组件以外的 DOM 节点的优秀的方案。
 
 ```js
 ReactDOM.createPortal(child, container)
 ```

-A typical use case for portals is when a parent component has an `overflow: hidden` or `z-index` style, but you need the child to visually "break out" of its container. For example, dialogs, hovercards, and tooltips.

-Even though a portal can be anywhere in the DOM tree, it behaves like a normal React child in every other way. Features like context work exactly the same regardless of whether the child is a portal, as the portal still exists in the *React tree* regardless of position in the *DOM tree*.
+尽管 portal 可以被放置在 DOM 树中的任何地方,但在任何其他方面,其行为和普通的 React 子节点行为一致。由于 portal 仍存在于 *React 树*, 且与 *DOM 树* 中的位置无关,那么无论其子节点是否是 portal,像 context 这样的功能特性都是不变的。

-Catching an event bubbling up from a portal in a parent component allows the development of more flexible abstractions that are not inherently reliant on portals. For example, if you render a `<Modal />` component, the parent can capture its events regardless of whether it's implemented using portals.
+在父组件里捕获一个来自 portal 冒泡上来的事件,使之能够在开发时具有不完全依赖于 portal 的更为灵活的抽象。例如,如果你在渲染一个 `<Modal />` 组件,无论其是否采用 portal 实现,父组件都能够捕获其事件。
