　　UT Programming Team won the International Collegiate Programming Contest (ICPC) South Central USA Regional Competition at Baylor University in Waco, Texas. 

　　UT编程团队在德克萨斯州瓦科贝勒大学赢得了国际大学生编程比赛（ICPC）美国中南部地区比赛。

　　On Sat, 9 Nov 2019, the UT Programming Team won the International Collegiate Programming Contest (ICPC) South Central USA Regional Competition at Baylor University in Waco, Texas. The winning team, consisting of Aditya Durvasula ('19), Aaron Lamoreaux ('23), and Viraj Maddur ('23), will compete in the ICPC World Finals this coming June in Moscow, Russia. 

　　2019年11月9日星期六，德州理工大学编程团队在德克萨斯州瓦科贝勒大学举行的美国中南部地区国际大学生编程比赛（ICPC）中获胜。获胜的队伍由Aditya Durvasula（19岁）、Aaron Lamoreaux(23岁)和Viraj Maddur(23岁)组成，将于今年6月在俄罗斯莫斯科参加ICPC世界总决赛。

　　The competition consisted of 60 teams from 25+ schools (approximately 180 students) from across Texas, Louisiana, and Oklahoma. UT Austin's top team solved 12 of the 12 problems. UT Austin's other three teams came in 3rd (Aditya Arjun, Kevin Li, Luke Gretta), 4th (Jake Crouch, James Dong, Kevin Chen), and 6th (Alex Hong, Davis Robertson, Tres Brenan). 

　　这场比赛由来自德克萨斯、路易斯安那和奥克拉荷马的25所学校（约180名学生）组成的60支队伍组成。但是奥斯汀的顶 级团队解决了12个问题中的12个。而奥斯汀的另外三支队伍分别排在第三位 (Aditya Arjun, Kevin Li, Luke Gretta)、第四位(Jake Crouch, James Dong, Kevin Chen)和第六位(Alex Hong, Davis Robertson, Tres Brenan)。

　　UT has been competing in the regionals since 1997. This is UT's fourth consecutive win. UT went to the 2016 world finals in South Dakota, the 2017 world finals in Beijing, and the 2018 world finals in Portugal. UT has seen marked improvement since the creation of a new elective, CS104c: Competitive Programming, taught by the faculty coaches Etienne Vouga and Glenn Downing, in conjunction with the student officers of the UT Programming Contest. 

　　自1997年以来，UT一直在区域赛中竞争。这是UT连续第四次获胜。UT参加了2016年南达科他州世界总决赛、2017年北京世界总决赛和2018年葡萄牙世界总决赛。自开设新的选修课CS104c：竞争性编程课程以来，犹他州立大学取得了显著的进步，该课程由教员教练Etienne Vouga 和 Glenn Downing与犹他州立大学编程竞赛的学生干事共同教授。

　　The ICPC traces its roots to 1970 when the first competition was hosted by pioneers of the Alpha Chapter of the UPE Computer Science Honor Society. The initiative spread quickly within the United States and Canada as an innovative program to raise increase ambition, problem-solving aptitude, and opportunities of the strongest students in the field of computing. Over time, the contest evolved into a multi-tier competition with the first championship round conducted in 1977. Since then, the contest has expanded into a worldwide collaborative of universities hosting regional competitions that advance teams to the annual global championship round, the ICPC World Finals. 

　　ICPC的起源可以追溯到1970年，当时UPE计算机科学荣誉协会Alpha分会的先驱们主办了第一届比赛。这项倡议作为一项创新计划在美国和加拿大迅速传播开来，旨在提高计算机领域最优秀学生的雄心、解决问题的能力和机会。随着时间的推移，比赛演变成了一个多层次的竞争，第一轮冠 军赛于1977年举行。从那时起，这项比赛已经扩大到一个由举办地区性比赛的大学组成的全球合作组织，这些比赛将球队推进到一年一度的全球锦标赛，即ICPC世界总决赛。

　　The International Collegiate Programming Contest is the premier global programming competition conducted by and for the world’s universities. The ICPC is affiliated with the ICPC Foundation and is headquartered at Baylor University. The contest fosters creativity, teamwork, and innovation in building new software programs, and enables students to test their ability to perform under pressure. The contest has raised aspirations and performance of generations of the world’s problem solvers in the computing sciences and engineering. 

　　国际大学编程比赛是由世界各大学举办的，也是为世界各大学举办的最重要的全球编程比赛。ICPC隶属于ICPC基金会，总部设在贝勒大学。这项竞赛在建立新的软件程序方面培养了创造力、团队精神和创新精神，并使学生能够测试他们在压力下的表现能力。这项竞赛提高了几代计算机科学和工程领域的世界问题解决者的志向和表现。
