“chop”表示截断(丢弃行的剩余部分)不折叠(将余数放在下一行的开头).
原文链接：https://www.f2er.com/bash/385695.html记录的-S选项对less的行为与您描述的相反.
-S or --chop-long-lines
Causes lines longer than the screen width to be chopped rather
than folded. That is,the remainder of a long line is simply
discarded. The default is to fold long lines; that is,display
the remainder on the next line.
(我认为-S的含义是“Scroll Sideways to see end of line”)
尝试省略-S选项.

Whan Zephirus eek with his swete breeth Inspired hath in every holt and heeth
The tendre croppes,and the yonge sonne Hath in the Ram his halfe cours y-ronne,And smale fowles maken melodye,That slepen al the night with open ye,So priketh hem nature in hir corages: Than longen folk to goon on pilgrimages,And palmers for to seken straunge strondes,To ferne halwes,couthe in sondry lo
