用法提示：is yoked to 是被动语态，表示某事物被紧密地连接或依赖于另一事物。
最中性的“连接”，可泛指具体或抽象事物结合；yoke 更强调紧密、牢固且常带有负担的结合。
强调事物之间的直接关联或环节关系，不一定有实际接触；yoke 更突出拴在一起、难分开。
最通用，可用于物理或抽象连接；yoke 多了一层束缚或被迫的意味。
强调结合成一个整体，语义较正式且偏正面；yoke 可能暗示不想要或强加的联合。
常指把两个事物配成一对或连接起来；yoke 适用范围更广，未必成对。
此处取 yoke 的“用轭连接、使结合”义。separate 是该义的常用反义词，指把原本相连的人或物分开；若指具体的牲畜套轭，则不用 separate。
对应 yoke 的“连接、联合”义，disconnect 表示切断原有的连接；不用于“给牲畜套轭”或“奴役”等义。
对应 yoke 的“给牲畜套上轭”或“把车/犁套到牲畜上”的字面义，unyoke 是直接反义词，意为卸下轭；不能用于比喻义“连接”或“奴役”。
