Question

hew v.砍；劈；砍倒；砍成；固守；开辟abbr.(美)卫生、教育及福利部(=Department of Health；Education；and Welfare) (1) 他知道刀片不能劈石头。(2) 他被告之不要砍倒那棵古树。(3) 他把一根树干凿成独木舟。(4) 每个学生都要遵守学校的规章制度。(5) 他们在浓密的丛林里开辟出一条路来。 It's said that Paul Bunyan hewed the Grand Canyon by dragging his giant mythical axe behind him. But usually things are hewn with a little more purpose — with each chop and cut designed to shape, sculpt, or craft a final product. Take the axe out of the picture though, and this word takes on a different meaning. If you're trying to adhere to rules, stick to a budget, or conform to a certain tradition, you can use hew, too.
