You can picture 'chop' as a short, hard, downward blow that cuts: a hand or a blade comes straight down — bang — and splits or severs whatever is under it. Every main use grows from that one sharp downward stroke: the act of cutting, a single such blow, the piece that the blow produces, and the figurative 'axe' that cuts a budget or a job. One small family (chops = jaws/mouth, and 'have the chops') comes in by a different door and is not about that blow at all.

可以把 chop 想成一記又短又狠、由上往下的劈砍:一隻手或一把刀直直落下——「砰」——把底下的東西劈開或剁斷。它大更多收起可以把 chop 想成一記又短又狠、由上往下的劈砍:一隻手或一把刀直直落下——「砰」——把底下的東西劈開或剁斷。它大多數的用法都是從這一記利落的下劈長出來的:劈砍這個動作、劈下去的那一下、被劈出來的那一塊,還有比喻裡那把砍預算、砍工作的「斧頭」。只有一小群(chops=嘴邊下巴、以及 have the chops=真本事)是從另一扇門進來的,跟這記下劈無關。
