在英语中，接住这个球可以用 "catch the ball" 来表达。这个短语的来源可以追溯到拉丁语的 "capere"，意思是"捕捉"或"掌握"。例如：

Could you catch the ball for me? (你能接住这个球吗？)
He managed to catch the ball just before it hit the ground. (他设法在球掉在地上前接住了它。)
She has excellent hand-eye coordination and is able to catch any ball thrown at her. (她有出色的手眼协调能力，能够接住任何扔向她的球。)
