日常英語 小時候玩的游戲 上

跳棋 Chinese Checkers

Chinese checkers is characterized by its hexagram-shaped board, which can accommodate up to 6 players. The main goal of Chinese checkers is to move all your marbles from your end to the opposite point of the star. Players can move their marbles by "hopping" over a single adjacent marble – one's own or the opponent's – and can continue to hop until there's no more adjacent marble.

跳棋的特點在于六邊形的棋盤，最多可供6人游戲。跳棋的主要游戲目標(biāo)是把所有的彈珠從你的一端移到棋盤的另一端。玩家通過借助相鄰彈珠——可以是自己的也可以是對手的——來使自己的彈珠“跳躍”前進，直到?jīng)]有相鄰彈珠可跳為止。

也有人做出了野餐墊和彩色杯子的巨大版飛行棋，“強行”變成了戶外游戲。

七巧板 Tangram

The tangram is a dissection puzzle consisting of seven flat polygons which are put together to form shapes. The objective is to replicate a pattern (given only an outline) generally found in a puzzle book using all seven pieces without overlap. It is reputed to have been invented in China sometime around the late 18th century CE and then carried over to America and Europe by trading ships shortly after.

七巧板是一個小塊拼圖游戲，由七個扁平的多邊形組成，這些多邊形放在一起可以形成其他形狀。游戲目標(biāo)是拼出一個益智書里提供的圖形（會事先給出一個圖形輪廓），要使用所有七個形狀，且需要沒有重疊。據(jù)說七巧板是在公元18世紀末的某個時候在中國發(fā)明的，不久后通過貿(mào)易船只傳到了美國和歐洲。

翻花繩 String figure

A string figure is a design formed by manipulating string on, around, and using one's fingers or sometimes between the fingers of multiple people. String figures may also involve the use of the mouth, wrist, and feet. The game ends when one of the two players cannot think of any next solution to the current figure or when one player fails to hold the figure with hands.

翻花繩就是用自己的手指或是在多人手指之間翻轉(zhuǎn)繩子從而形成形狀。翻花繩也可能會用到嘴、手腕和腳。如果兩個玩家中的某一個想不出當(dāng)前圖形的下一個可以翻的形狀，或者某個玩家繩子散了，游戲就結(jié)束。

彈珠 Marble

A marble is a small spherical object often made from glass. These balls vary in size. Marbles can be used for a variety of games called marbles. They are often collected, both for nostalgia and for their aesthetic colors. Players often use their fingers to "shoot" one marble to hit the opponent's marble and can acquire it if it was hit.

彈珠是一種小的球形物體，通常由玻璃制成，大小不一，可以用來玩彈珠游戲。經(jīng)常有人收藏彈珠，既是為了懷舊，也是為了好看的顏色。玩家會用手指“射”出一個彈珠來擊中對手的彈珠，如果被擊中就可以獲得彈珠。

捉迷藏 Hide-and-seek

Hide-and-seek is a popular children's game in which at least two players conceal themselves in a set environment, to be found by one or more seekers.
