- 1扶犁的農夫;犁田的人(英式 ploughman,美式 plowman)
A ploughman was a man whose job was to guide a plough while a horse or ox pulled it. He kept the blade in the soil and the cut straight. Like , this is old farm English; machines took the job away. You still meet the word in British life in one frozen phrase: a ploughman’s lunch — bread, cheese, pickle, salad — sold as the kind of meal a farm worker might once have eaten. Though actually the pub version is more a later invention than a true picture of what ploughmen ate. Spelling: British ploughman, American plowman.
組成From Middle English plowman, ploghmon, plouȝman: plough + man. Middle Dutch had a similar compound, ploechman.
