Triangle board
This puzzle consists of a triangular array of holes together with pegs that can be inserted and removed. The usual beginning arrangement is shown below:
blue dot = positions with pegs.
white dot = empty holes.
Moves consist of jumping one peg over a neighboring peg into a vacant hole and removing the peg jumped over. In the above display, there are 2 possible first moves. Neighboring pegs are those pegs which are the minimal distance apart, a peg has at most 6 neighboring pegs. The idea of the game is to reduce the number of pegs on the board as far as possible. Two different players can compare their skill by seeing which player can reduce the game to the fewest pegs. The game can be varied by starting with the initial hole in different places, by starting with more than one vacancy, or by playing on a board with a larger or smaller number of holes. If a player reduces the number of pegs on the board to one peg, he/she can't do any better. Sometimes, the number of pegs cannot be reduced to one. In that situation, how can a player be certain that he/she has found the best possible reduction?

我的译文及翻译公司对我的评价：
三角板
这张拼图包括一组排列成三角行的孔和一些可以插入和移出的钉子。开始的排列通常如下图所示：
蓝色圆点 = 带有钉子的位置
白色圆点 = 空孔
移动包括把某个钉子隔相邻的一个钉子置入一个空孔里，并且把相邻的那个钉子移出。如上图所示，第一次移动可有两个选择。相邻的钉子是那些相隔距离最短的钉子，而一个钉子最多有6个相邻的钉子。该游戏的用意在于尽可能减少木板上钉子的数目。两个不同的玩家可以通过看看谁能把该游戏的钉子的数量减到最少来比较一下各自的技巧。如果开始时最先选择的孔的位置不同，或者开始时有一个以上的空孔，或者所玩的木板上孔的数目或大或小，那么游戏就会不同。如果某个玩家把木板上钉子的数量减少到只剩一个，那么这就是最好的成绩了。有时候，钉子的数目不能减少到一个。在这种情况下，玩家怎样确定他/她已经找到了减少钉子数目的最佳方法？

5分。英译中部分翻译得不好。其实原文介绍的游戏，是与跳棋很相似的游戏。“跳过…”都没有翻译出来。译者没有完全把握原文的中心意思。中译英部分相对完成得好些，但是有些地方用词不正确。
