Curling (冰壺)? 乍聽(tīng)起來(lái)很陌生，但事實(shí)上, Curling
(冰壺)在歐美是相當(dāng)普遍的一項(xiàng)冬季冰上運(yùn)動(dòng)。你可以形容它像是在冰上打保齡球，但場(chǎng) 上只有扁扁的球而沒(méi)有球瓶。
請(qǐng)看冬奧會(huì)官方網(wǎng)站的相關(guān)介紹：Whether they play for fun in small-town clubs or for
glory at the winter Olympics, one thing's for certain: Canadians love
curling, and they've produced some of the world's best players. Though
some have called it "shuffleboard on ice," supporters say it's a game with
a grand Canadian tradition of skill, strategy, and sportsmanship.
"冰壺"也可稱作"冰上溜石游戲"，最早發(fā)源于十六世紀(jì)的蘇格蘭，后流傳至歐美等國(guó)，據(jù)說(shuō)，"冰壺"現(xiàn)已成為加拿大最為鐘愛(ài)的冰上體育項(xiàng)目。比賽最終目的就是在投出所有
16 個(gè)約42 磅重的花崗巖冰壺石（每隊(duì) 8
個(gè)）后，令您所在隊(duì)的冰壺石最接近營(yíng)壘的中心。運(yùn)動(dòng)員從冰道一側(cè)的擲石區(qū)將冰壺石擲到另一側(cè)的營(yíng)壘中。這包括冰壺運(yùn)動(dòng)員從擲石區(qū)將冰壺石推出，帶著旋轉(zhuǎn)推開(kāi)它，冰壺因此而得名的。
當(dāng)然，離開(kāi)體運(yùn)項(xiàng)目，我們還得弄清curling的本意。Curling的動(dòng)詞形式curl表示某物呈螺旋狀如：The wave curled
over the surfer（波浪從沖浪運(yùn)動(dòng)員頭上盤旋而過(guò)），同時(shí)，curl也可以表示卷發(fā)Her hair was in
curls（她一頭卷發(fā)）。
