A yoke is a wooden frame or bar that is used to join two animals, typically oxen, together at the neck so that they can work as a team to pull a plow or a cart. The yoke is usually made to fit the neck of each animal and is attached to the plow or cart to distribute the load equally between them. In this way, the two animals work together as a single unit and can accomplish more than they could individually.

Yokes can also be used to carry loads on the shoulders of humans. In some cultures, people use a yoke to carry buckets of water or firewood, for example. The yoke helps distribute the weight of the load and makes it easier to carry.

軛是一個木框或木條，用於將兩隻動物（通常是牛）在頸部連接在一起，以便它們可以作為一個團隊來拉犁或推車。 軛通常被製成適合每隻動物的脖子，並連接到犁或手推車上，以在它們之間平均分配負載。 通過這種方式，這兩隻動物作為一個整體一起工作，可以完成比它們單獨完成的更多的工作。

軛也可以用來在人的肩膀上承載負載。 例如，在某些文化中，人們使用軛來搬運水桶或木柴。 軛架有助於分配負載的重量並使其更易於攜帶。
