عبارت انگلیسی
covers
معنی و توضیح
In this podcast, the word “covers” means the sheets, blankets, comforters, and other large pieces of fabric on a bed that keep one warm while sleeping: “They bought new covers to match the color of the new paint on their bedroom walls.” A “cover” is also the heavy first or last page of a book that protects the other pages in the book: “Please open the front cover and let’s begin on page one.” If something is “a cover for (something),” then it is being used to hide a secret, especially if it is hiding something bad: “They run a restaurant as a cover for their drug sales.” Finally, if someone is working “under cover,” he or she is using a disguise and pretending to be someone else: “The police officer is working under cover to try to learn more about the gang’s activities.” 3 these materials on another website or distributing them in any way is prohibited.

This podcast is a dialogue between Carla and Trent. They’re going to be using some common vocabulary to talk about “heating,” making your house warmer, or “cooling,” making your house cooler. Let’s get started.
Carla: It’s freezing in here! Why is the air conditioner on?
Trent: I just finished exercising and I’m sweating like a pig.
Carla: That’s no reason to turn the A/C on full blast! I’m cold. I’m turning on the heat for a little while.
Trent: Are you crazy? It’s 70 degrees outside!
Carla: I’m no crazier than you
