记忆方法
1、plow 是犁地的"犁"，也是"耕地"这个动作——美式拼法；英式拼 plough（带 -ough，像 through）。两式同音 /plaʊ/，ow 和 cow（奶牛）同音。
2、词族很小，靠画面扩：plow through 顶着阻力向前（犁过雪地、埋头做完作业）、snowplow 扫雪车、plowshare 犁铧（share 这里是"切入土的那片"）。北斗七星在美式里也叫 the Plow。
3、易错：plow 别和 pluck（拔掉、拔毛）、plunge（猛地陷入）、plug（插头、塞子）搅混；英式 plough 的 -ough 不发音，写成 plow 更省心。过去式 plowed（英式也可 ploughed）。

英语词源
- plow (n.)
- late Old English plog, ploh "plow; plowland" (a measure of land equal to what a yoke of oxen could plow in a day), possibly from a Scandinavian source (such as Old Norse plogr "plow," Swedish and Danish plog), from Proto-Germanic *plogo- (cognates: Old Saxon plog, Old Frisian ploch "plow," Middle Low German ploch, Middle Dutch ploech, Dutch ploeg, Old High German pfluog, German Pflug), a late word in Germanic, of uncertain origin. Old Church Slavonic plugu, Lithuanian plugas "plow" are Germanic loan-words, as probably is Latin plovus, plovum "plow," a word said by Pliny to be of Rhaetian origin.
Replaced Old English sulh, cognate with Latin sulcus "furrow" (see sulcus). As a name for the star pattern also known as the Big Dipper or Charles's Wain, it is attested by early 15c., perhaps early 14c. The three "handle" stars (in the Dipper configuration) generally are seen as the team of oxen pulling the plow, though sometimes they are the handle. - plow (v.)
- late 14c., from plow (n.). Transferred sense from 1580s. Related: Plowed; plowing.
