Hello all,
Today, teaching a translation class, my students and I tried to translate the following sentence into Russian. The idea is to show them that there are a lot of words in English which have multiple meanings. Alas, there is no context.
The rent and utilities coverage in the country is gradually growing and will reach as much as 80% by this July.
What does the rent and utilities coverage mean? Maybe the number of people who regularly pay the rent and utilities bills?
Thank you for your help in advance.
