Cover Meaning in English
word
释义
To put something over or on top of another thing to protect or hide it. It can also mean the front part of a book or magazine, or to include something in a topic or discussion.
用法与细微差别
Used both literally ('cover the pot', 'cover your head') and figuratively ('cover a topic', 'cover the cost'). As a noun: 'book cover', 'album cover'. As a verb, common with 'cover for someone' (replace or help). Often confused with 'hide' (to make invisible), but 'cover' usually means physically putting something on top.
