在英语中,羽毛球运动被称为badminton。这个单词原本是一个地名,是19世纪中期英国一位鲍菲特公爵在格洛斯特郡一座庄园的名称。有一天,公爵的手下从当时英国的殖民地印度带回一种叫做Poona的玩具,它是一块插有羽毛的圆形软木,由两人手持木板相向拍打。公爵见后很感兴趣,仿照网球拍的样式对球拍进行了改造,并在庄园中作为招待宾客的一项娱乐手段。因此,羽毛球这种运动迅速在英国发展起来。由于它起源于badminton庄园,所以人们把它称作badminton。值得注意的是,badminton指的是羽毛球运动,而在羽毛球运动中被来回击打的那个球,在英语中被称作shuttlecock,shuttle的意思就是“来回,往返”。而羽毛球拍和网球拍一样都被称作racket,因为它们本来就是同一种拍子,略有变化而已。=badminton['b?dm?nt(?)n]n羽毛球运动=shuttlecock['??t(?)lk?k]n羽毛球,毽子=racket['r?k?t]n(网球或羽毛球)球拍

小知识
Badminton is a racket sport like tennis, but instead of a ball, a funny looking feathered thing called a shuttlecock is whacked over the net. It’s best played on a lawn after brunch, while wearing white.
This racket game, which dates to the 19th century, is named after the Duke of Beaufort's country estate. It’s the kind of game you’d play on a country estate while the children frolic, but it can also be very competitive — it’s been an Olympic sport since 1992. Badminton rackets are light with long handles, and the shuttlecock is hit back and forth like a ball. Like tennis, you can play singles (one on one) or doubles (two on two).
