crop
意味
crop（発音記号: /krɒp/、カタカナ読みで「クロップ」）は、農家が食料や販売のために大量に育てる植物、つまり米や小麦、トウモロコシなどの「農作物」を指します。また、「ある季節に収穫された量」という意味でも使われ、"this year's wheat crop"（今年の小麦の収穫量）のように使います。
英語での意味: A crop is a plant that farmers grow in large amounts, usually to use as food or to sell, such as rice, wheat, or corn. It can also mean the amount of a crop gathered in one season, as in "this year's wheat crop." It's pronounced /krɒp/ (rhymes with "stop" or "drop").
例文
Rice is the main crop grown in this region.
この地域で主に栽培されている作物は米です。
Farmers lost most of their crops because of the heavy rain.
大雨のせいで、農家はほとんどの作物を失いました。
This year's wheat crop was bigger than last year's.

使い方のコツ
"Crop" can also be a verb meaning to cut something short, like "crop a photo." In phrasal verbs, "crop up" means something unexpected suddenly appears, as in "A problem cropped up." As a noun, "crop" can mean the plant itself (like wheat or rice) or the amount gathered in one season, as in "this year's wheat crop." "Harvest" usually refers to the act of gathering crops, though it can also mean the amount gathered — so the two words overlap but aren't exactly the same. As a farming word, "crop" is often paired with verbs like "grow," "harvest," or "lose."
