喜樂美語
  1. 1n/plaʊ/犁

    The usual American spelling of plough: a piece of farm equipment used to turn over the earth so that seeds can be planted.

    「plow」是美式拼法；英式寫 plough，意思一樣，都是農場用來「翻土」的工具「犁」。核心畫面可以想成「把土翻起來、好讓種子能種下去的農具」——從前用牛馬拉，現在多半掛在拖拉機後面。它是可數名詞：a plow, two plows。美式還常說 snow plow（除雪機）——形狀像犁，用來推開路上的雪。

core核心畫面

Picture a blade dragged through a field, cutting into the soil and rolling it over so the buried, softer earth comes up to the top, ready for seed. A plow is that blade — the tool that opens the ground before anything is planted.

可以想成：一片刀刃被拖著劃過田地，切進土裡再把土翻過來，讓底下鬆軟的泥翻上來，準備下種。plow 就是這片刀刃——在播種之前把地翻開的那件農具。它的動作比較像「切開再翻面」，不是鏟走，這也是它和鏟子最大的差別。
