Picture one thing lying over another: snow over a hill, mud over a shoe, a roof over a market, an insurance plan over you. Whatever is underneath is the thing that is covered. The word always describes the one below, never the layer on top — which is why the hills are covered in snow and never the other way round.

可以想成有一層東西從上面蓋下來:雪蓋在山上、泥巴蓋在鞋上、屋頂蓋在市場上、保單蓋在你身上。被蓋住的那一方才是 covered。這個字永遠形容下面那個東西,不是上面那一層——所以說 the hills are covered in snow,不會倒過來講。
