Hold the picture of one action: a ball sent low along a line, travelling away from your hand towards something waiting at the far end. Not thrown up in the air, not passed sideways — sent along the ground, with the whole point being what it meets when it arrives. Once you can see that, every use of the word is just a different far end: ten pins on a wooden lane, a small white ball on grass, a bend in a country road, a standing twenty metres away.

可以想成一個動作的畫面:一顆球被低低地送出去,沿著一條線離開你的手,往遠處某個等著它的東西前進。不是往上拋,也不是往旁邊傳,而是貼著地面送過去,重點全在它到達時撞上什麼。看見這個畫面之後,這個字的每一種用法就只是換了遠處那一端:木頭球道上的十支瓶子、草地上的一顆小白球、鄉間馬路的一個彎、或是二十公尺外站著的打擊者。
