用法
- "To weed," now bound - it lives essentially only in 耕耘 (gēngyún), literally plowing-and-weeding, used almost always figuratively for patient hard work: 默默耕耘 (mòmò gēngyún) to toil quietly without recognition.
- Pairs with the harvest metaphor: 一分耕耘，一分收获 (yìfēn gēngyún, yìfēn shōuhuò) you reap what you sow.
