"面向目标程序设计" can be translated into English as "goal-oriented programming" or, more commonly and precisely in the context of software engineering and programming paradigms, "objective-oriented programming" (though note that "objective-oriented" is less standard and "object-oriented programming" is the widely recognized term; here, if strictly adhering to the Chinese term's intent of focusing on goals/objectives rather than objects, "goal-oriented" might be a more literal fit, but in practice, one might need to clarify the specific meaning as it's not a standard programming paradigm name in English).
However, considering the common understanding and the fact that "面向目标" might sometimes be confused with or intended to convey a similar idea to "面向对象" (object-oriented) in a broader sense (though they are not the same), if we're looking for a standard and widely understood term in programming, and assuming there might be a slight misinterpretation or translation challenge here (since "面向目标" is not a standard programming paradigm name), the closest and most relevant standard paradigm is "object-oriented programming" (OOP), which focuses on objects rather than goals directly, but is a fundamental and well-known programming approach.
For a direct and literal translation of "面向目标程序设计" (assuming it's intended to mean programming focused on achieving specific goals), one might coin the term "goal-oriented programming," but it's not a standard term in the industry. In practice, one would need to clarify the specific meaning and context to provide an accurate and useful translation or explanation.
If the intention is to describe a programming approach that is highly focused on achieving specific, predefined outcomes or goals, then "goal-oriented programming" (though non-standard) could convey that idea. Otherwise, if it's a misinterpretation or translation issue, and the actual intent is closer to object-oriented programming, then "object-oriented programming" would be the correct term.
Given the ambiguity, a safe and contextually appropriate response might be:
"The term '面向目标程序设计' could be translated as 'goal-oriented programming' for a literal interpretation, though it's not a standard programming paradigm. If the intention is closer to the well-known object-oriented programming approach, then 'object-oriented programming' (OOP) would be the correct term."
