正确表达The farmer removed the cow's horns.
pollard作动词时只表示“截去树梢”,宾语是树;用于动物去角不能用pollard,应改用remove(或dehorn)。“pollard”作名词虽可指去角动物,但动词无此用法。
poll 作动词可指截去树梢或剪掉头发、角,动作对象较广;pollard 作动词专指把树的顶部截短以促使枝叶繁茂,也可作名词指截梢树或无角动物。表示截梢时 poll 不如 pollard 专门。
polled 是形容词,表示“无角的、天生无角的”;pollard 是名词或动词,指无角动物或截梢树,或指截梢动作。因此只能说 polled cattle,不能用 pollard cattle 来表达“无角的牛”这种属性。
collard 是一种绿叶蔬菜(羽衣甘蓝),与 pollard 的拼写和读音有几分相近,但意义完全不同;pollard 指截梢树或无角动物,不可混用。
