    逐字美和她的哥哥每個星期天早上在公園打羽球。

    badminton 就是我們說的羽球。場地中間有一張高高的網，兩邊的人用球拍（racket）把「羽毛球」打來打去，玩法跟網球很像——差別在打的東西：網球打的是球，羽球打的是 shuttlecock，一顆插著羽毛的小東西，飛出去會先快後慢。這個字可以想成「整項運動的名字」，而不是某一顆球或某一場比賽，所以它不可數：說 play badminton，不說 a badminton；要講「一場」要說 a game of badminton。

core核心畫面

Picture a net stretched high between two players, and something light with feathers flying back and forth over it — never bouncing on the ground the way a ball does, but floating up and dropping fast. The game looks like tennis at a distance, but the thing you hit is a , and the whole feel of the play comes from how light it is.

可以想成這樣一幅畫面：一張高高拉起的網，兩邊的人用球拍把一個插著羽毛的輕東西打來打去。它不像球會落地反彈，而是被打上去、然後直直往下墜——所以整場的節奏都跟這個「輕」有關。遠遠看很像網球，但打的不是球，是羽毛球（shuttlecock）。
