To play badminton is to volley the shuttlecock with a racket so that it could fly over the net.

Right! But "to volley the shuttlecock with a racket so that it could fly over the net." is only a kind of description. When we are going to play that sport, we donot usually say in such an awkward way.  [s:28]  [s:28]

那么打羽毛球，该说play badminton,还是play shuttlecock?
按照其他球类项目的说法，踢足球，打篮球，都用的play直接接球的名字，那么打羽毛球，是play badminton,还是play shuttlecock? 好象play badminton更常见。
所以这就是我为什么说badminton更常见的原因啦，哈哈！（做得意状）
[s:28]  [s:28] 呵呵，开个玩笑，大家对运动英语有见解的接着发表。
