喜樂美語
  1. 1

    A shuttlecock is the small, light thing you hit in . One end is a round cork or plastic base; the other end is a skirt of real feathers, or a plastic copy of feathers. You hit it with a so that it flies over the net. Because it is so light, it slows down quickly in the air and a small wind can blow it off course — that is why outdoor is hard. In everyday talk, especially American talk, people often just say bird or birdie. Shuttlecock is the clearer name, the one you will see in rules and in a dictionary. It is not the Chinese kicking toy, and it is not a little bird, even though it looks a bit like one in flight.

    • Seven or eight of them, standing in a circle, were engaged in a game of shittlecock. They had in their hands no battledores. They did not employ the hand or arm, any way, in striking it. But, after taking a short race, and springing from the floor, they met the descending shittlecock with the sole of the foot, and drove it up again, with force, high into the air. [...] The shittlecock was made of a piece of dried skin rolled round, and bound with strings. Into this skin were inserted three long feathers spreading out at top, but so near to each other, where they were stuck into the skin, as to pass through the holes, little more than a quarter of an inch square, which are always made in the centre of Cochin-chinese copper coins.
