喜樂美語

From the word’s history

16th century, of unknown origin; possibly related to hook, from the curve of the stick.

16 世紀出現，來源不明；可能和 hook「鉤」有關，因為球棍是彎的。

Wiktionary

One way to picture hockey: two teams with curved sticks, driving a small object into the other side's goal. Which surface you picture depends on where you are — grass in Britain, ice in North America — so the same word names two different sports depending on the speaker.

可以想成 hockey 是兩隊人拿著彎頭球桿，把一個小東西打進對方球門。至於腳下是什麼，要看說話的人在哪裡——英國想到的是草地，北美想到的是冰面——所以同一個字在不同地方指的是兩種運動。
