英语翻译The yo-yo was first played in China,around three thousand years ago.The same principles of the hobby are found in the performances of acrobats(杂技演员) in modern China.,where they spin pieces of wood on a string.The hobby was popular in ancient Greece.A vase dating back to 500 BC has been found with a picture of a boy playing with a yo-yo on it.Also,a museum in Athens has a yo-yo from that time.In the Philippines,around five hundred years ago,hunters threw rocks at wild animals to try to kill them.Each rock was attached to a string,which the hunter would pull to get the rock back.The name "yo-yo" come from the Philippines.It means "come-come".Yo-yos were also known in India,as shown by a picture on a small box that was produced in 1765; in France,where a painting of 1789 shows a small prince playing with a yo-yo; in England,where a drawing dating back to 1791 shows members of the royal family with yo-yos; and in the USA in the 1860s,where records of new inventions include a yo-yo with weights around the discs.In the twentieth century,people even played with a yo-yo in space.In 1985,astronauts on the Space Shuttle found that the yo-yo did not spin in the same way as on earth,because of the lack of gravity.
