1. 1v/ˈpʌtɪŋ/(高爾夫)推桿

    In golf, hitting the ball gently a short way along the ground to send it towards the hole.

    這個 putting 是高爾夫運動的「推桿」——在果嶺上輕輕把球往洞口推一小段距離。注意發音:這個 putt 唸 /pʌt/(像 cut),和一般「放置」的 put /pʊt/ 不同,是另一個字。推桿講究輕、準,不是大力揮桿,所以用的桿子叫 putter(推桿)。

Wiktionary

You can picture putting as a on the smooth green, tapping the ball softly so it rolls along the ground the last short distance into the hole — not a big swing, just a gentle, careful push.

可以把 putting 想成高爾夫球員站在平整的果嶺上,輕輕一碰球,讓它貼著地面滾完最後那一小段路、落進洞裡——不是大力揮桿,而是很輕、很細的一推。整個字就只圍著這一個畫面:最後一段、貼地、溫柔地把球送進洞。
