1. 1

    A plough (spelled "plow" in American English) is a large farm tool, usually pulled by a tractor or, in the past, by animals like horses or oxen. It cuts and turns over the soil before farmers plant seeds. As a verb, "to plough" means to use this tool, but people also use it more loosely to mean pushing forward through something with a lot of effort - like "ploughing through" a big pile of paperwork, or a car that "ploughs into" a wall, meaning it crashes hard into it.

    犁(農具,名詞);當動詞指「犁田」。英式拼法為 plough,美式拼法為 plow。
