This comes from carnivals and road shows that almost always have games to test one's skill or strength. One of the most popular is the hammer.Just about every show has one.The hammer is actually a wooden mallet.The contestant hits the raised end of a little seesaw as hard as possible.There's a metal slide resting on the other end, that shoots up the rod to ring the bell.

背景资料　这个词是从嘉年华会或街头表演那里来的，当时有很多游戏可以考验参加者的技巧或力量。其中最受欢迎的一项是铁槌游戏，差不多每个表演会场都有。说是铁槌其实是木槌，参加竞赛的人会用力敲打小跷跷板升高的那一头，另一头则有一个金属滑板，会把一根棒子迅速升起，然后把钟敲响。
