be covered by, be covered with这两个短语的共同意思是“被…所遮盖”,当介词宾语为非人为的自然物时,两者可互换。其区别是:
1.强调状态时多接with,强调动作时多接by。例如:
The mountains are covered with forests.
山上长满了树木。
His teeth were never entirely covered by his lips.
他的牙齿从未被嘴唇完全遮住过。
2.当介词宾语为一件较小的覆盖物(如:cloth, book)时,一般要用with,因为此时往往用“人”作为行为施动者。例如:
The table was covered with a table cloth (by me).
(我在)桌上盖着一块桌布。
