The earliest origins of tennis are a matter of some dispute. One side believes that the ancient Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans played a precursor to tennis. Drawings or descriptions of any tennis-like games have not been discovered, but a few Arabic words dating from ancient Egyptian times are cited as evidence. The theory says that the name tennis derives from the Egyptian town of Tinnis alongside the Nile.
一种说法是关于网球的起源,古埃及,希腊和罗马是网球的发源地。在古埃及时代,尽管没有相关的古代刻画图形作为证据,但是,却发现了很多阿拉伯单词。有理论说,网球这个单词起源于尼罗河畔的一个名为Tinnis的古埃及小镇。
Aside from this word, evidence for any form of tennis preceding the year 1000 is lacking, and most historians credit the first origins of the game to 11th or 12th century French monks, who began playing a crude handball against their monastery walls or over a rope strung across a courtyard.
除了这个单词,关于网球一千年前的情况,并没有历史记载。但是大多的历史学家把其历史归于11,12世纪的法国和尚,这些和尚曾拿着粗糙的球打向寺院的墙壁,或者打过栓在院子里的绳子。
The game took on the name jeu de paume, which means "game of the hand." Many who dispute more ancient origins argue that tennis derived from the French tenez, which meant something to the effect of "take this," said as one player would serve to the other.
