The Egyptians First Played Ball Games
The first true piece of sports equipment that man invented was the ball.
In ancient Egypt, as everywhere, pitching stones was a favorite children's game. But a badly thrown rock could hurt a child. Looking for something less dangerous to throw, the Egyptians made what were probably the first balls.
At first balls were made of grass or leaves held together by vines. Later they were made of pieces of animal skin sewed together and stuffed with feathers or hay.
Even though the Egyptians were warlike, they found time for peaceful games. Before long they had developed a number of ballgames, each with its own set of rules. Perhaps they played ball more for instruction than for fun. Ball playing was thought of mainly as a way to teach young men the speed and skill they would need for war.
其实这段话网上已有译文，但是我感觉翻译得不好，希望能翻译得更中国、更流利。
非常感谢！

埃及人的玩球游戏，第一件真正的体育器材,球是发明人.在古埃及,到处是石头喜欢投球儿童游戏. 投掷石块,但极有可能伤害孩子. 找一些较危险的投射,埃及人很可能是第一个球,取得了什么.第一球是在草或树叶,合在一起举行. 后又发块动物皮、毛缝起来,藏在干草.即使是好战的埃及人,他们发现和平的游戏时间. 不久,他们已制定了若干球类游戏，各有自己的一套规则. 也许他们玩球的乐趣,更不是教学. 玩球的方法,主要是思想教育青年,需要速度和技巧的战争.
