释义与例句

v.
  1. 1.

    To cover every aspect of a topic or situation.

    For another, whereas the pairing of “foreign” and “domestic” often covers the waterfront,... the dissent’s hypothetical pairings do not have that same effect. And unlike animals (which need not be small or doglike) or ice creams (which need not be chocolate or vanilla), every government must be foreign or domestic to some degree; the question is just where on the spectrum it falls.
