- 1耕作、整地（翻土、犁田那些準備工作）
The work of preparing soil so crops can grow in it — breaking it up, turning it over, ploughing and harrowing before planting. It is a formal, slightly old-fashioned word. A farmer talking to a neighbour says 'ploughing' or just 'working the land'; 'tillage' is the word in a textbook, a government report, an agriculture course, or the Bible. You will also meet it meaning the land itself when it is under crops rather than grass — 'the farm has 40 of tillage'. Because of the modern climate conversation, one phrase has pushed the word back into ordinary news: 'no-till' or 'zero tillage' farming, where you plant without ploughing, so that the soil holds together and keeps its carbon. If you ever read about regenerative agriculture, 'tillage' is the word being argued about — and there the tone flips, because in that conversation tillage is the thing you are trying to do less of.
組成From the verb 'till' — meaning to work the soil — plus -age, an ending that turns an action into the name of the whole activity or its result: postage, storage, drainage, breakage.
