  We propose a modified definition for a quasi-parton distribution function
(QPDF) with an equal-time correlator in the large momentum limit, whose two
pieces of space-like Wilson links are oriented in orthogonal directions. It is
explicitly shown at one-loop level that the linear divergence in the original
QPDF with dipolar Wilson links, which complicates its matching to the standard
light-cone parton distribution function (LPDF), is removed. The LPDF can then
be extracted reliably from Euclidean lattice data for the QPDF with the
non-dipolar Wilson links.
