网球(tennis)
由两个或两对球手手执球拍在一座以低网分隔的球场中击打一个轻又有弹性的球的一种运动。网球可在户外或户内打，场地可以是硬地、红土或草地。目的是将球打进对手一方的场地中，并让对手追不到或无法回击。每一局都由固定一位球手发球。得分以15、30、40和game表示（「love」表示0分）。平分（称为「deuce」）时需要某位选手连得两分才能获胜。率先拿下6局并领先对手2局的球手即赢得一盘。一场胜负需要三盘两胜（或五盘三胜）才能输赢。1970年代之後，开始使用平局决胜局的规定以消除马拉松式的一盘。网球源於1870年代英国的球拍和球游戏。世界第一场草地网球冠军赛於1877年在温布顿举行，之後红土与硬地网球陆续加入。目前的国际团队比赛包括男子选手的台维斯杯以及女子选手的联邦杯（1963年开打）；主要的个人巡回赛包括网球大满贯（Grand Slam）：英国（温布顿）、美国、澳洲和法国四大公开赛。
English version：
tennis
Game played with rackets and a light, elastic ball by two players or pairs of players on a rectangular court divided by a low net. Tennis is played indoors and outdoors, on hard-surface, clay, and grass courts. The object is to hit the ball over the net and into the opponent's half of the court in such a way as to defeat the opponent's attempt to reach and return it. Each player serves for an entire game. Points are scored as 15, 30, 40, and game (the term “love” is used for 0). A tied score (“deuce”) requires continued play until a two-point margin is achieved. The first player to win six games, with a lead of two games, takes the set. A match consists of the best two out of three (or three out of five) sets. Since the early 1970s, tiebreakers have been employed to eliminate marathon sets. Tennis developed in the 1870s in Britain from earlier racket-and-ball games. The first world lawn-tennis championship was held in 1877 at Wimbledon; clay- and hard-court competitions emerged later. Current international team tournaments include the Davis Cup for men and the Federation Cup (since 1963) for women's teams. The major tournaments for individual players constitute the “Grand Slam” of tennis: the national championships of Britain (Wimbledon), the U.S., Australia, and France.
