A:It isn't your fault. No one will blame you.

地道表达：cover up
讲解释义：此处cover是动词，意思是“覆盖或遮掩某物”“（以覆盖或遮掩的方式）隐藏或保护某物”，短语cover up有“遮掩，掩饰”的意思。另外还可以理解为“（完全）盖住，遮住，裹住”的意思。
支持范例：
释义1：遮掩，掩饰
Eg. He tried to cover up his guilt¹ by lying.他企图用说谎来掩盖罪行.
Eg. The government is trying to cover up the scandal.政府企图遮掩这件丑事.
Eg. She tried to cover up her nervousness as she waited for the interview.等待面试时，她竭力掩盖自己紧张的情绪。
Eg. I know everything, and it is no use for you to try to cover up.我什么都知道了，你不要隐瞒了。
Eg. You are lying and lies can not cover up facts.你在说谎，但谎言掩盖不了事实。
释义2：（完全）盖住，遮住，裹住
Eg. The cream base can help to cover up the freckles².这种底霜能掩盖雀斑。
Eg. Then how can I cover up my dark circles with makeup³?那我又该如何用化妆品遮我的黑眼圈呢?
