To hew is to cut something with a tool that has a hard edge — an axe, a hatchet, a heavy knife — often into wood or stone, and often with strong, repeated blows. You might hew a tree, hew logs into beams, or hew a figure out of rock. It is an old, rather verb; in ordinary talk people usually say cut, chop, or hack. Though actually, English kept a second, slightly stretched use: to hew to a line, a rule, or a plan means to stay very close to it, from the old picture of cutting wood evenly along a marked line. That use shows up in news and speeches more than in kitchens.
砍；劈
組成Does not split. From Middle English hewen, from Old English hēawan, going back through West Germanic to a very old root meaning “to strike, hew, forge.”
