boules

I remember being struck by the way young and old would gather in village squares of an evening to talk, drink and play boules.

我记得一到晚上，老老少少就会聚集在村里的广场上，谈天、喝酒、玩地掷球游戏（Boules），令我印象深刻。

People watch children steer remote-controlled boats on the pond, and men play boules .

他们会看小孩子操控池塘上的遥控船，男人则玩布尔球。

France and Germany don't mandate the playing of boules or backgammon today.

如今法国和德国已不再强制要求大家玩地掷球或西洋双陆棋了。
