单词	shuttlecock
释义	shuttlecock /ˈʃʌt(ə)lkɒk / noun A cork to which feathers are attached to form a cone shape, or a similar object of plastic, struck with rackets in the games of badminton and battledore: figurative the area became one of those historical shuttlecocks... There were also some children who, perhaps intrigued by badminton star Nigelia Saunders' Olympic debut, used their purple plastic rackets to knock shuttlecocks over a purple and lime-green net to each other. Its primitive racquets and feather shuttlecocks were soon rendered obsolete by the discovery of celluloid. Adults still play a game with a shuttlecock made out of corn.
