A cover is the outside layer — the part everyone sees first, and sometimes the only part they ever see. A magazine cover shows one picture and one line, and that is your whole idea of the issue until you open it. So a cover story is the story that sits on the outside. In one use, the outside layer is doing its honest job: showing you what matters most inside. In the other, the outside layer is doing the opposite job: standing between you and what is inside. Same layer, two jobs.
cover 就是最外面那一層：別人第一眼看到的部分，有時候也是他們唯一看到的部分。雜誌封面只有一張圖、一句話，在你翻開之前，那就是你對整本雜誌的全部印象。所以 cover story 可以想成「擺在外面那一層的故事」。一個用法裡，這層外皮老實地替你指出裡面最重要的東西。另一個用法裡，這層外皮做的正好相反：它擋在你和真相中間。同一層皮，兩種工作。
