rendition

When I asked several other blind study subjects to draw a spinning wheel, one particularly clever rendition appeared repeatedly.

由於不是很清楚"rendition"的意思,所以查了線上字典

奇摩:

n. 名詞

1. 譯文; 解釋
2. 表演; 演奏
3. 提供
4. 【古】引渡逃奴

The FreeDictionary

n.

1. The act of rendering.

2. An interpretation of a musical score or a dramatic piece.

3. A performance of a musical or dramatic work.

4. A translation, often interpretive.

5. A surrender.

 

基於以上的字典的解釋,可看出這句話的意思為

["當我請不同的盲人進行測試"畫轉轉動的圓"時,有種表示方式(畫法)不斷出現"]

 

但因為這個字我過去沒使用過,所以繼續上網搜尋其用法,找到的句子(大部分為新聞標題),我都沒辦法和字典裡或是前敘的例子兜上.不知道rendition在下面的例子中是什麼意思?

 

Russia, Ukraine and other former Soviet states are colluding in an illegal rendition programme, a new report from Amnesty International claims.

 

Wick, Aberdeen and Inverness airports were used in the CIA's rendition of terrorist suspects, a study has claimed.

 

North Scottish airports 'used for redition fighrs'

 

 

 

 

 

 

Animals Taiwan

"Once you have a pet, the two most important things to remember are to neuter your pet so it can't further increase Taiwan's animal population and to train it properly"

I am not clear about the using of the "to".

Why is not "that" used in here? like:

 "Once you have a pet, the two most important things to remember are that neuter your pet so it can't further increase Taiwan's animal population and to train it properly"

Maybe I lack of some grammar tips about "to"........

Coffee house

I read a article about coffee shop.

There is a sentence 

"Or it may be a place where  baristas are coffee chefs and the roasting of beans a serious business"

can I modify the last part of this sentence to "roasting of beans is a serious business"? 

Is it Participial Construction?

Police suspect more than robbery in Malaysian crown prince case

"Police have arrested two suspects following the break in at a room in a five-star hotel and the bashing of a member of the royal guard of the visiting crown prince of Kedah state of Malaysia." 

"following the break in at xxxxxx"

是否可改寫成"who folloewed the break in at xxxxx"

?

Government quick to identify the suspected hacker (above) of the PM's Office website, who surrendered Friday declaring his innocenc

"Government quick to identify the suspected hacker (above) of the PM's Office website, who surrendered Friday declaring his innocence, but slow to move against people posting lese majeste messages on cyberspace, critics say."


前半段看得出來意思是:
"政府很快的確認星期五被補並宣稱自己是無辜的駭客"

但"but"後面就看不懂了

我有查了一下,"to move against "有
"to move against time"(與時間競賽)
"Journalists move against Hon Hai over court action"(記者們和鴻海對簿公堂)???
"Education Ministry vows move against anti-procession law" (教育部長反對反遊行法 )??

is too often treated with contempt

"When people are asked where they get their best idea, they answer, "In the shower." "On vocation" "Doing nothing." This despite the fact that such dreamy purposelessness is too often treated with contempt ."

後半部的"that"是做什麼的?
另外"This"放在這邊我覺得很怪.....

簡單的說,這句話如果是我寫,我會寫成
"Despite the such dreamy purposelessness is too often treaded with contempt"
