A tract has a few different uses. Most often, it means a large area of land, especially one used for a purpose — 'a tract of farmland' or 'a tract of forest.' In the body, a 'tract' is a system of connected parts that things pass through, like the tract (where food goes) or the respiratory tract (where air goes). A 'tract' can also mean a short or paper, usually about religion or , that argues for an idea — this use is older and less common now.
(土地)大片區域;(身體)道、系統(如消化道);(舊式)宣傳小冊子
