If the data in any particular block is to be modified, then the information in all the blocks must be modified at the same time. The practical effect of the technical difficulty of such simultaneous modification is that a blockchain is tamper-proof. Similarly, when the information within a certain block is to be modified, all the other blocks in the chain must acknowledge the modification, an important feature known as the consensus scheme.<\/p>\n<p>\u5bf9\u4e8e\u5f88\u591a\u4eba\u6765\u8bf4\uff0c\u533a\u5757\u94fe\u795e\u79d8\u4e14\u6df1\u5965\u3002\u4f46\u5f52\u6839\u5230\u5e95\uff0c\u533a\u5757\u94fe\u662f\u4e00\u79cd\u53bb\u4e2d\u5fc3\u5316\uff08decentralized\uff09\u7684\u6570\u636e\u5b58\u50a8\u65b9\u5f0f\u3002\u7b80\u5355\u6765\u8bf4\uff0c\u533a\u5757\u94fe=\u533a\u5757+\u94fe\u3002\u6bcf\u4e00\u4e2a\u533a\u5757\u90fd\u5305\u542b\u4e2a\u4f53\u5b58\u50a8\u7684\u4fe1\u606f\uff0c\u65e0\u6570\u4e2a\u533a\u5757\u8fde\u5728\u4e00\u8d77\uff0c\u5c31\u5f62\u6210\u4e86\u4e00\u6761\u94fe\uff0c\u8fd9\u5c31\u662f\u533a\u5757\u94fe\u3002\u5982\u679c\u8981\u4fee\u6539\u67d0\u4e00\u4e2a\u533a\u5757\u4e0a\u7684\u4fe1\u606f\uff0c\u5219\u5fc5\u987b\u540c\u65f6\u4fee\u6539\u533a\u5757\u94fe\u4e0a\u6240\u6709\u533a\u5757\u7684\u4fe1\u606f\uff0c\u8fd9\u5728\u6280\u672f\u4e0a\u662f\u5f88\u96be\u5b9e\u73b0\u7684\uff0c\u56e0\u6b64\u5b83\u662f\u4e0d\u53ef\u7be1\u6539\u7684\uff08Tamper-proof\uff09\u3002\u540c\u6837\uff0c\u5982\u679c\u8981\u4fee\u6539\u67d0\u4e00\u4e2a\u533a\u5757\u4e0a\u7684\u4fe1\u606f\uff0c\u5219\u5fc5\u987b\u8ba9\u94fe\u4e0a\u6240\u6709\u7684\u533a\u5757\u90fd\u8ba4\u53ef\u8fd9\u79cd\u4fee\u6539\uff0c\u8fd9\u5c31\u662f\u5171\u8bc6\u673a\u5236\uff08consensus scheme\uff09\u3002<\/p>\n<p>Consider a simple example of how this\u00a0might work in practice. When two people\u00a0are married, they must present themselves\u00a0at a government office and receive a\u00a0marriage certificate before they become\u00a0husband and wife and the relationship is\u00a0formally acknowledged. In this common\u00a0model of marriage administration, the\u00a0government office is a centralized intermediary. If the government office did\u00a0not exist, then the couple would have to\u00a0inform every person in the world of their\u00a0marriage before it could be universally\u00a0known and acknowledged. Such decentralized\u00a0notification, of course, would be\u00a0impossible. Blockchain technology can overcome\u00a0barriers to decentralized recognition. The\u00a0couple would only need to write their\u00a0marriage into a block, and then, as soon as\u00a0that block was formed and recognized, all\u00a0the other blocks on the chain would be\u00a0notified, and everyone on the blockchain\u00a0would verify and recognize the new\u00a0marriage. This whole process would be\u00a0completed instantaneously, and if everyone\u00a0in the world were on this blockchain, then\u00a0everyone in the world would become aware\u00a0of the couple\u2019s marriage, and the existence\u00a0of the original government office would no\u00a0longer be necessary\u2014decentralization of\u00a0marriage administration would be achieved.<\/p>\n<p>\u4e3e\u4e2a\u4f8b\u5b50\uff0c\u5982\u679c\u4e24\u4e2a\u4eba\u7ed3\u5a5a\uff0c\u4ed6\u4eec\u5fc5\u987b\u5230\u653f\u5e9c\u673a\u6784\u8fdb\u884c\u767b\u8bb0\uff0c\u9886\u53d6\u7ed3\u5a5a\u8bc1\uff0c\u8fd9\u624d\u610f\u5473\u7740\u8fd9\u4e24\u4e2a\u4eba\u6b63\u5f0f\u6210\u4e3a\u592b\u59bb\uff0c\u8fd9\u79cd\u5173\u7cfb\u624d\u80fd\u88ab\u627f\u8ba4\u3002\u5728\u8fd9\u79cd\u6a21\u5f0f\u4e0b\uff0c\u653f\u5e9c\u673a\u6784\u5c31\u662f\u4e00\u4e2a\u4e2d\u5fc3\u5316\u7684\u5a92\u4ecb\u3002\u5982\u679c\u6ca1\u6709\u653f\u5e9c\u673a\u6784\u7684\u5b58\u5728\uff0c\u90a3\u4e48\u4ed6\u4eec\u5fc5\u987b\u628a\u7ed3\u5a5a\u8fd9\u4ef6\u4e8b\u544a\u8bc9\u8fd9\u4e2a\u4e16\u754c\u4e0a\u7684\u6bcf\u4e00\u4e2a\u4eba\uff0c\u5a5a\u59fb\u5173\u7cfb\u624d\u80fd\u88ab\u77e5\u9053\u548c\u627f\u8ba4\uff0c\u8fd9\u663e\u7136\u662f\u4e0d\u53ef\u80fd\u505a\u5230\u7684\u3002\u4f46\u662f\u533a\u5757\u94fe\u6280\u672f\u80fd\u89e3\u51b3\u8fd9\u4e00\u96be\u9898\u3002\u4ed6\u4eec\u53ea\u9700\u8981\u628a\u7ed3\u5a5a\u8fd9\u4ef6\u4e8b\u5199\u8fdb\u4e00\u4e2a\u533a\u5757\uff0c\u4e00\u65e6\u533a\u5757\u5f62\u6210\u5e76\u4e14\u88ab\u786e\u8ba4\uff0c\u90a3\u4e48\u5176\u4ed6\u7684\u533a\u5757\u90fd\u4f1a\u88ab\u901a\u77e5\uff0c\u8fd9\u6837\u533a\u5757\u94fe\u4e0a\u6240\u6709\u7684\u4eba\u90fd\u77e5\u9053\u4e86\u4ed6\u4eec\u7ed3\u5a5a\u7684\u4e8b\u5b9e\u5e76\u4e88\u4ee5\u6838\u5b9e\u627f\u8ba4\uff0c\u800c\u8fd9\u4e00\u5207\uff0c\u90fd\u5c06\u5728\u77ed\u65f6\u95f4\u5185\u88ab\u5b8c\u6210\u3002\u5982\u679c\u5168\u4e16\u754c\u7684\u4eba\u90fd\u5728\u8fd9\u6761\u533a\u5757\u94fe\u4e0a\uff0c\u7b49\u4e8e\u5168\u4e16\u754c\u7684\u4eba\u90fd\u77e5\u9053\u4e86\u4ed6\u4eec\u7ed3\u5a5a\uff0c\u653f\u5e9c\u673a\u6784\u4e5f\u5c31\u6ca1\u6709\u5b58\u5728\u7684\u5fc5\u8981\u4e86\uff0c\u8fd9\u5c31\u662f\u53bb\u4e2d\u5fc3\u5316\u3002<\/p>\n<p>Blockchain technology development has\u00a0occurred in three major phases.

In today\u2019s translation industry, the kind of work a translator receives is driven by translation companies\u2019 experience with the translator. This situation arises because translators are reliant on translation companies, and if a translation company thinks a certain translator provides a high level of product, then that translator can obtain well-compensated translation work. However, this model makes it difficult for the translator to receive business from clients outside of those translation companies, simply because those outside of this loop lack the means to learn of the translator. Thus, high-quality translators are sometimes limited to only poorly-compensated work, which is terribly unfair to the translator. If a translator\u2019s personal file could be impartially and objectively stored on a tamper-proof blockchain, then such transparent and reliable information about the translator would enable more language services customers to find translators who meet their needs, thereby expanding the channels through which translators obtain translation work.<\/p>\n<p>\u533a\u5757\u94fe\u7684\u6c38\u4e45\u8bb0\u5f55\uff08Permanent record\uff09\u548c\u4e0d\u53ef\u7be1\u6539\uff08Tamper-proof\uff09\u3002\u5728\u76ee\u524d\u7684\u7ffb\u8bd1\u884c\u4e1a\u4e2d\uff0c\u8bd1\u5458\u80fd\u63a5\u5230\u4ec0\u4e48\u6837\u7684\u5de5\u4f5c\u53d6\u51b3\u4e8e\u7ffb\u8bd1\u516c\u53f8\u5bf9\u8fd9\u540d\u8bd1\u5458\u7684\u8ba4\u53ef\u7a0b\u5ea6\u3002\u8fd9\u662f\u56e0\u4e3a\u8bd1\u5458\u5bf9\u7ffb\u8bd1\u516c\u53f8\u7684\u4f9d\u8d56\u7a0b\u5ea6\u9ad8\uff0c\u7ffb\u8bd1\u516c\u53f8\u89c9\u5f97\u67d0\u4e2a\u8bd1\u5458\u7684\u6c34\u5e73\u9ad8\uff0c\u8fd9\u4e2a\u8bd1\u5458\u5c31\u80fd\u591f\u5f97\u5230\u9ad8\u56de\u62a5\u7684\u7ffb\u8bd1\u5de5\u4f5c\u3002\u56e0\u6b64\uff0c\u8bd1\u5458\u5f88\u96be\u63a5\u5230\u7ffb\u8bd1\u516c\u53f8\u4ee5\u5916\u7684\u8ba2\u5355\uff0c\u6700\u6839\u672c\u7684\u539f\u56e0\u662f\u5916\u754c\u7f3a\u4e4f\u5bf9\u8be5\u8bd1\u5458\u7684\u4e86\u89e3\uff0c\u4f7f\u5f97\u6709\u65f6\u9ad8\u6c34\u5e73\u7684\u8bd1\u5458\u53ea\u80fd\u65e0\u5948\u505a\u4f4e\u62a5\u916c\u7684\u5de5\u4f5c\uff0c\u5bf9\u4e8e\u8bd1\u5458\u6765\u8bf4\u6781\u4e0d\u516c\u5e73\u3002\u5982\u679c\u8bd1\u5458\u7684\u4e2a\u4eba\u6863\u6848\u80fd\u591f\u88ab\u516c\u6b63\u5ba2\u89c2\u7684\u8bb0\u5f55\u5728\u533a\u5757\u94fe\u4e0a\uff0c\u7531\u4e8e\u533a\u5757\u94fe\u7684\u4e0d\u53ef\u7be1\u6539\u6027\uff0c\u8bd1\u5458\u7684\u4fe1\u606f\u5c06\u66f4\u52a0\u900f\u660e\u53ef\u9760\uff0c\u8fd9\u5c06\u6709\u5229\u4e8e\u66f4\u591a\u7684\u8bed\u8a00\u670d\u52a1\u9700\u6c42\u65b9\u627e\u5230\u7b26\u5408\u6761\u4ef6\u7684\u8bd1\u5458\uff0c\u62d3\u5bbd\u8bd1\u5458\u83b7\u53d6\u7ffb\u8bd1\u5de5\u4f5c\u7684\u6e20\u9053\u3002<\/p>\n<p>Traceability.
