Do you think sinking(下沈;低降)billiard balls sounds easy? Well there's one easy thing to do if you're a beginner-scratch! A scratch happens when the cue ball doesn't hit the intended(意圖;打算) ball first. Maybe the cue ball hits your opponent's ball first instead. That's against the rules. And if you sewer, that means your cue ball goes down into a pocket unintentionally(無心地;無意地). When this happens, your opponent(敵手;對手) gets a free shot at his colored balls.


A talented billiard player can "break"(分散) very well. That means she can scatter(使散開) the colored balls wide apart to start the game. Good players can also make many other kinds of cool shots, like "combinations," "bank shots" and "jump shots".If you're up against(接觸) one such player....good luck!


Billiard championships are played around the world with lots of prize(獎金) money at stake. However, the game is loads of fun for players of all skill levels. Also, the billiard industry has been shedding(擺脫;放下) its image of a game played in the smoky backrooms of dark pubs. Many pool halls today have a family atmosphere(氣氛;氛圍). It's an affordable(可負擔的;花得起的) game, great to enjoy with friends. So, is it your "break" or mine ?
