Pocket billiards such as modern-day pool and snooker were around, but they were considered to be the ill-bred cousins of carom billiards, which used a pocketless table. The name pool was born during the 1840s when billiards was closely identified with gambling parlors, or "pool parlors" in the lexicon of the day. The name stuck, and with more than 40 million people playing in America alone last year, so has the game.

“球袋臺球”(pocket billiards)如花式、英式臺球在當時比比皆是，但卻被視為是“教養(yǎng)不良的兄弟臺球”（carom billiards),它們的球臺沒有球袋?！皬椬印?pool)這個名詞出現(xiàn)在19世紀40年代，當時臺球室和賭場是緊密聯(lián)系在一起的，以當時的辭匯稱之即為“彈子房”。這個名稱就保留下來，去年，光是美國就有超過四千萬人玩臺球，這項運動也常盛不衰。

(短文節(jié)選,本篇始于：臺球的沿革)
