1. to sow with a drill (barrow)

   • 你給我們拉砘子去吧，叫你大娘拿耬。我常說，什麼活也能一個人慢慢去做，惟獨鋤草和耩地，一個人就是幹不來。 [MSC, trad.]
     你给我们拉砘子去吧，叫你大娘拿耧。我常说，什么活也能一个人慢慢去做，惟独锄草和耩地，一个人就是干不来。 [MSC, simp.]

     From: 1948, July 10, Sun Li（孫犁）, Honour（《光荣》）

     Nǐ gěi wǒmen lā dùnzi qù ba, jiào nǐ dàniáng ná lóu. Wǒ cháng shuō, shénme huó yě néng yīgerén mànmān qù zuò, wéidú chúcǎo hé jiǎngdì, yīgerén jiùshì gànbùlái. [Pinyin]

     You can help us with the stone roller, and tell your aunt to bring the drill. I always say, any task can be done slowly by one person, except for hoeing and sowing — you just can't do them alone.
