+Rustにおける `if` の扱いはさほど複雑ではありませんが、伝統的なシステムプログラミング言語のそれに比べて、
+動的型付け言語でみられる `if` にずっと近いものになっています。そのニュアンスをしっかり理解できるよう、
+さっそく説明していきましょう。
 
-`if` is a specific form of a more general concept, the ‘branch’. The name comes
-from a branch in a tree: a decision point, where depending on a choice,
-multiple paths can be taken.

+`if` は一般化されたコンセプト、「分岐(branch)」の特別な形式です。この名前は木の枝(branch)を由来とし:
+取りうる複数のパスから、選択の決定を行うポイントを表します。

 ```rust
 let x = 5;
 
 if x == 5 {
-    println!("x is five!");
+# // println!("x is five!");
+    println!("x は 5 です!");
 }
 ```
 
-If we changed the value of `x` to something else, this line would not print.
-More specifically, if the expression after the `if` evaluates to `true`, then
-the block is executed. If it’s `false`, then it is not.

+仮に `x` を別の値へと変更すると、この行は表示されません。より正確に言うなら、
+`if` のあとにくる式が `true` に評価された場合に、ブロックが実行されます。

-    println!("x is five!");
+# // println!("x is five!");
+    println!("x は 5 です!");
 } else {
-    println!("x is not five :(");
+# // println!("x is not five :(");
+    println!("x は 5 ではありません :(");
 }
 ```
 
-If there is more than one case, use an `else if`:
+<!-- If there is more than one case, use an `else if`: -->
+場合分けが複数あるときは、 `else if` を使います:
 
 ```rust
 let x = 5;

 } else {

-This works because `if` is an expression. The value of the expression is the
-value of the last expression in whichever branch was chosen. An `if` without an
