人們使用何種羽毛來製作羽球運動的羽毛球？
What kind of feathers do people use to make badminton shuttlecocks?
(A) Goose feathers.
(B) Chicken feathers.
(C) Dove feathers.
(B) Chicken feathers.
(C) Dove feathers.
The answer is: (A) Goose feathers.
People use goose feathers to make badminton shuttlecocks. Each shuttlecock has 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.
Today, plastic shuttlecocks are becoming more and more popular. That is because they last longer than feather shuttlecocks.

(A) 鵝羽。
(B) 雞羽。
(C) 白鴿羽。
(B) 雞羽。
(C) 白鴿羽。
答案是： (A) 鵝羽。
人們使用鵝毛來製作羽球運動的羽毛球。每顆羽毛球由16根羽毛所組成，其須來自鵝的左翅且尺寸相同的羽毛。這是由於左翅的羽毛會呈現固定的形狀。若你混合了左右兩翅的羽毛、或是羽毛的尺寸不一，該顆羽毛球將無法適當地飛行。
如今，塑膠羽球逐漸盛行，這是因為它們的使用壽命較羽毛製的羽球為長之故。
