课文讲解
What kind of feathers do people use to make badminton shuttlecocks? 人们使用何种羽毛来制作羽球运动的羽毛球?
(A) Goose feathers. 鹅羽。
(B) Chicken feathers. 鸡羽。
(C) Dove feathers. 白鸽羽。
People use goose feathers to make badminton shuttlecocks. Each shuttlecock had 16 feathers. They must all come from a goose's left wing and be the same size. That's because feathers on the left wing have a certain shape. If you mix feathers from both wings or if they're different sizes, the shuttlecock won't fly properly.
答案是:(A) 鹅羽。
人们使用鹅毛来制作羽球运动的羽毛球。每颗羽毛球由16根羽毛所组成,其须来自鹅的左翅且尺寸相同的羽毛。这是由于左翅的羽毛会呈现固定的形状。若你混合了左右两翅的羽毛、或是羽毛的尺寸不一,该颗羽毛球将无法适当地飞行。
Today, plastic shuttlecocks are becoming more and more popular. That is because they last longer than feather shuttlecocks.
如今,塑料羽球逐渐盛行,这是因为它们的使用寿命较羽毛制的羽球为长之故。
