Cover is a more general word than coat. Coat is used especially when sth is deliberately covered with a fixed layer for decoration or protection. * cover比coat含義廣。coat尤指出於裝飾或保護目的，有意在某物上面牢固地覆蓋上一層◆The flakes are coated with sugar (= the sugar is fixed onto them).薄片上塗了一層糖。◆The flakes are covered with sugar (= the sugar is not fixed onto them).薄片上沾了一層糖。When sth gets coated in dust or grease, it suggests that the dust or grease may be quite thick and hard to remove. 分詞coated指某物覆蓋着灰塵或油脂時，暗示灰塵或油脂可能很厚，難以去除◆More than 400 birds were coated with oil when 50 tonnes of crude oil spilled into the sea.50噸原油洩漏到海裏後，400多只鳥身上裹了一層油污。 ■ spread (spread, spread) [transitive, intransitive] (usually used with an adverb or preposition 通常與副詞或介詞連用) to deliberately put a layer of a substance onto the surface of sth; to be able to be put onto a surface 塗；敷；抹◆She spread butter on a piece of toast.她往烤面包片上抹黃油。◆Spread the cake with cream and then sprinkle flakes of chocolate on top.把奶油抹到蛋糕上，然後在上面撒些巧克力碎片。◆If the paint is too thick, it will not spread easily.油漆如果太稠就不容易塗抹。ⓘ Spread is used about substances that you spread deliberately; it is not used about dirt or grease that gets onto sth by accident. * spread指有意塗抹，不用來指灰塵或油脂意外沾染到某物上。■ rub (-bb-) [transitive] (always used with an adverb or preposition 總是與副詞或介詞連用) to spread a liquid or other substance over a surface while pressing firmly 塗；抹；搽◆She rubbed moisturizer into her skin.她把乳液揉抹進皮膚裏。◆Rub some salt on the fish before cooking.烹制前在魚身上抹些鹽。■ smear smɪə(r); NAmE smɪr [transitive] to spread a soft substance over a surface in a rough or careless way （用稀軟物質）胡亂塗抹◆The children had smeared mud on the walls.那些孩子往牆上亂塗泥巴。◆His face was smeared with blood.他滿臉血污。  see also smear ⇨ mark noun ■ daub dɔːb [transitive, often passive] (always used with an adverb or preposition 總是與副詞或介詞連用) to spread a substance such as paint or mud onto sth thickly and/or carelessly （用顔料、灰泥等）塗抹，亂塗，亂畫◆The walls of the building were daubed with red paint.這座樓的幾面牆上随意塗了一層紅漆。NOTE 辨析 Smear or daub? Daub is often passive; smear is often active or passive. Daub always needs an adverb or preposition; smear can be used without. * daub常用被動形式，smear主動或被動形式均很常用。daub總是與副詞或介詞連用，smear可不跟副詞或介詞◆She had smeared her make-up.她胡亂化了妝。◆She had daubed her make-up. Daub is often used when talking about words which are written on sth; smear is not usually used in this way. 在某物上塗寫字句常用daub，smear一般不這樣用◆They found a message daubed onto the wall of the cell.他們在小房間牆上發現了一條塗寫的信息。◆They found a message smeared onto the wall of the cell. ■ cake [transitive, usually passive] to cover sth with a thick layer of sth soft that becomes hard when it dries （用幹後變硬的稀軟物質）覆蓋（厚厚一層）◆Her shoes were caked with mud.她的鞋上沾滿泥巴。
