網球運動的前世今生 Tennis story
Each summer at the US Open, the world’s top tennis players smash rubber balls back and forth across a net, while crowds wait politely until the end of the match before cheering. Such is the modern sport of tennis, once the genteel pastime of the idle rich. First played in thirteenth-century France, tennis was an indoor sport, with players using the palms of their hands to hit the ball. Later, in the sixteenth century, people picked up rackets and headed to outdoor courts for the action. story每年夏天，世界頂尖的網球好手都會齊聚美國網球公開賽，在球網兩側相互回擊一顆橡皮球，觀眾則彬彬有禮地在一旁守候，直到比賽結束時才報以歡呼聲。這就是現代網球運動的實況；在過去，這種運動可是有錢人用來消磨時光的上流社會休閑活動。網球起源于13世紀的法國，當時還是一種球員以掌心擊球的室內運動。后來到了16世紀，人們才拿起球拍，走向戶外球場從事這項活動。
Tennis is still much the same, although nowadays it’s enjoyed by people from all walks of life—not just aristocrats. Professional player Pete Sampras, for example, is the son of Greek immigrants to the US. He began playing as a child, hitting balls against the wall in his basement. Sampras soon dominated the courts, not because of pretensions, but because of his ability to“ace”the ball: Sampras can serve it so hard that opponents can’t return it.
網球運動至今并沒有太大的變革，不過喜愛這項運動的人卻遍及各行各業——而不僅僅是貴族了。舉例來說，職業選手皮特·桑普拉斯是美籍希臘移民之子，小時候就在家里地下室對著墻壁擊球，開始了他的網球生涯。桑普拉斯很快便縱橫球場，靠的不是自命非凡，而是發球得分的能力：因為桑普拉斯發球力量很大，對手毫無還手的余地。
