A hoe is a garden tool with a long handle and a thin, flat metal blade at the bottom. You stand up and push or pull that blade across the top of the soil, so you cut small unwanted plants — weeds — while they are still young, and you break the hard, dry skin of the ground so water can get in.

A hoe鋤頭 is a garden tool with a long handle and a thin, flat metal blade at the bottom是一種有長柄、底端裝著薄薄扁平金屬刀片的園藝工具。You你 stand up and push or pull that blade across the top of the soil站著把那片刀刃在土壤表面推或拉, so you cut small unwanted plants — weeds — while they are still young好把還小的雜草切除, and而且 you break the hard, dry skin of the ground so water can get in弄鬆地表又硬又乾的土皮，好讓水能滲進去。

People who grow vegetables use a hoe a lot in warm months, because weeds come back fast; it is faster than pulling every plant by hand, and you do not turn the whole bed over the way a spade does.

People who grow vegetables種菜的人 use a hoe a lot in warm months在天氣暖的月份常用鋤頭, because weeds come back fast因為雜草長得很快；it它 is faster than pulling every plant by hand比一株一株用手拔快, and而且 you do not turn the whole bed over the way a spade does不像鏟子那樣會把整片土翻過來。

You can also use hoe as a verb: if you hoe a row, you work it with this tool. It is a plain farming and garden word, not a fancy one, and garden shops still sell hoes.

You你 can also use hoe as a verb也可以把 hoe 當動詞用：if you hoe a row如果你 hoe 一畦地, you work it with this tool就是用這個工具整理它。It它 is a plain farming and garden word是一個很普通的農務、園藝用字, not a fancy one不算什麼講究的字, and而且 garden shops still sell hoes園藝店現在還是有賣鋤頭。

Though actually, the same spelling is used in a rude slang word that has nothing to do with gardens — that is a different use, and it is not the word you want here.

Though actually不過其實，the same spelling同樣的拼法 is used in a rude slang word也用在一個粗俗的俚語裡, that has nothing to do with gardens跟園藝一點關係都沒有——that那 is a different use是不同的用法，and而且 it is not the word you want here不是你在這裡要找的意思。
