比较理想的解释方法应该以“状态：任务（目标）+过程+表现（或特征）”的表达模式来对这几个状态进行定义

在《Pragmatic Ajax A Web 2.0 Primer 》中偶然看到对readyStae状态的介绍，感觉这个介绍很实在，摘译如下：
0: (Uninitialized) the send( ) method has not yet been invoked.
1: (Loading) the send( ) method has been invoked, request in progress.
2: (Loaded) the send( ) method has completed, entire response received.
3: (Interactive) the response is being parsed.
4: (Completed) the response has been parsed, is ready for harvesting.
0 － （未初始化）还没有调用send()方法
1 － （载入）已调用send()方法，正在发送请求
2 － （载入完成）send()方法执行完成，已经接收到全部响应内容
3 － （交互）正在解析响应内容
4 － （完成）响应内容解析完成，可以在客户端调用了
对 于readyState的这五种状态，其他书中大都语焉不详。像《Foundations of Ajax》中，只在书中的表2-2简单地列举了状态的“名称”－－The state of the request. The five possible values are 0 = uninitialized, 1 = loading, 2 = loaded, 3 = interactive, and 4 = complete。而《Ajax in Action》中好像根本就没有提到这5种状态的细节。《Professional Ajax》中虽不尽人意，但还是有可取之处：
There are five possible values for readyState:
0 (Uninitialized): The object has been created but the open() method hasn't been called.
1 (Loading): The open() method has been called but the request hasn't been sent.
2 (Loaded): The request has been sent.
3 (Interactive). A partial response has been received.
4 (Complete): All data has been received and the connection has been closed.
readyState有五种可能的值：
0 (未初始化)： (XMLHttpRequest)对象已经创建，但还没有调用open()方法。
1 (载入)：已经调用open() 方法，但尚未发送请求。
2 (载入完成)： 请求已经发送完成。
3 (交互)：可以接收到部分响应数据。
4 (完成)：已经接收到了全部数据，并且连接已经关闭。
