大家请看2006年的text4 40.Which of the following is true of the text?[D] Mass media are inclined to cover disasters and deaths.请问大家cover是啥意思啊,黄宝书上解释是报道,但宫东风讲的是掩盖!我查了一下牛津,两个意思都有,到底是啥呀,郁闷.......
以下是朗文的英文解释,个人理解cover作为掩盖的时候,应该指具体的某物遮盖某物。文中disasters and deaths,是泛指的概念,因此cover理解为报道是合情合理的
hide/protect ( also cover up ) to put something over or be over something in order to hide, close, or protect it :
Cover the pot and bake for an hour.
