Noun:
Venetian traveler who explored Asia in the 13th century and served Kublai Khan 1254-1324a game similar to field hockey but played on horseback using long-handled mallets and a wooden ball马球是所有马术运动中最古老的，公元前2000年今伊朗境内居民就已发明这一运动。马球自今伊朗传到阿拉伯，再传到西藏，19世纪又传到印度，19世纪后半叶英国人又从印度带到了英国。因此马球的英语名称polo被认为来源于西藏语pulu球是有道理的。 polo是极少数几个源于西藏语的英浯单词之一，其他的有panda熊猫和yak牦牛。
posh 漂亮的，第一流的
昔日，富人乘船从英国去印度旅行，为求航海途中阴凉舒适，大多喜欢选择背阴朝北的房舱。乘客在订票登记时，半岛和东方轮船公司Peninsular and Oriental，简称P＆o就会注上P,O,S．H四个字母，或在来回票上加盖P．O．S．H字样。P．O．S．H代表Port out或Outward，Starboard Home或Homeward，意思是“去程左舷，回程右舷”。在客轮穿越苏伊士运河、红海，进入印度洋时，这种房舱可以避免午后太阳的直射，比较凉快。不久，这一缩写式即被用作一个单词，转指“头等乘客”，据认为今作“漂亮的”、“第一流的”等义解的口语用词posh即源于此。这一说法还曾出现在P＆O于20世纪60年代所作的广告上。然而，遗憾的是，P＆O轮船公司没有这方面的证据和记录，所以这种说法一直没能证实。另有一点，posh始用于20世纪初，但在19世纪时英语原本就有一个盗贼俚语posh，意思是“钱”和“花花公子”，可能源自古卜赛语 Romany。因此，我们所用的posh很可能是同一个词，换言之，新的posh很可能是从旧的posh演变过来的。例如：She stayed at a posh hotel．她住在豪华旅馆。／Youire looking very pash in your new coat.c穿了新外套你看起来漂亮极了。）polo shirt马球衫polo neck圆高领water polo水球polo field马球场Bicycle Polo Association of Great Britain英国自行车球协会…match of water polo水球比赛polo cap马球帽polo stick马球棍polo pony马球马high goal polo预评分数高的马球让步…United States Polo Association美国马球协会…indoor polo室内马球two-man cycle polo两人自行车马球…
