-Since the system is decentralised and all parties have an opportunity to create a new block on some older pre-existing block, the resultant structure is necessarily a tree of blocks. In order to form a consensus as to which path, from root (the genesis block) to leaf (the block containing the most recent transactions) through this tree structure, known as the blockchain, there must be an agreed-upon scheme. If there is ever a disagreement between nodes as to which root-to-leaf path down the block tree is the `best' blockchain, then a \textit{fork} occurs.
+因为这是一个去中心化的系统, 所有人都有机会在之前的某一个区块创建新的区块并连接在其后, 这会行成一个树状的区块。为了能在这个树状结构上从根节点（创世块）到叶子节点（包含最新交易的区块）能形成一个一致的区块链,必须有一个共识方案。如果有人认为从根节点到叶子节点的路径不是"最佳"的区块链, 那这时候就会发生分叉。
 
-This would mean that past a given point in time (block), multiple states of the system may coexist: some nodes believing one block to contain the canonical transactions, other nodes believing some other block to be canonical, potentially containing radically different or incompatible transactions. This is to be avoided at all costs as the uncertainty that would ensue would likely kill all confidence in the entire system.
+这个就意味着在一个给定的时间点, 系统中会有多个状态共存：一些节点相信一个区块是包含标准的交易，其他的节点则相信另外一些区块包含标准的交易，其中就包含彻底不同或者不兼容的交易。这一点必须要避免, 因为它会破坏整个系统信用。
 
-The scheme we use in order to generate consensus is a simplified version of the GHOST protocol introduced by \cite{cryptoeprint:2013:881}. This process is described in detail in section \ref{ch:ghost}.
 
-Sometimes, a path follows a new protocol from a particular height.  This document describes one version of the protocol.  In order to follow back the history of a path, one might need to reference multiple versions of this document.
