尝试挖出区块时，以及成功挖出区块的那一刻，保持网络连接非常重要。
It's important to have network connectivity while you're trying to generate a coin (block) and at the moment it is successfully generated.
1) 挖矿期间（状态栏显示 "Generating"，CPU 正在寻找工作证明时），你必须持续连接网络，以便收到最新区块。如果你的区块没有接在最新区块之后，它可能不会被接受。
1) During generation (when the status bar says "Generating" and you're using CPU to find a proof-of-work), you must constantly keep in contact with the network to receive the latest block. If your block does not link to the latest block, it may not be accepted.
2) 成功生成区块后，区块会立即广播到网络。其他节点必须收到它并接着它继续构建，它才会被接受为最新区块。
2) When you successfully generate a block, it is immediately broadcast to the network. Other nodes must receive it and link to it for it to be accepted as the new latest block.
可以把它想象成大家合作接一条链。你要加上新的一环，必须先找到链条当前的末端。如果你找到最后一环后离开一小时，回来才把自己打造的链环接到一小时前的末端，别人可能已经接上了好几环。他们不会采用你这条已经从中间分叉出去的链。
Think of it as a cooperative effort to make a chain. When you add a link, you must first find the current end of the chain. If you were to locate the last link, then go off for an hour and forge your link, come back and link it to the link that was the end an hour ago, others may have added several links since then and they're not going to want to use your link that now branches off the middle.
区块生成后，需要再等待 120 个区块成熟，才能百分之百确认它属于主链并允许花费。在此期间，你的节点不会对这个区块做什么，只是在等待其他区块接到它后面。这段时间不必保持在线。
After a block is created, the maturation time of 120 blocks is to make absolutely sure the block is part of the main chain before it can be spent. Your node isn't doing anything with the block during that time, just waiting for other blocks to be added after yours. You don't have to be online during that time.
