Comment: << review queue entry 74994 - submitted by 'becky82' >>
I just want to add "to cover" since it's also a verb (in addition to a noun). I encountered this usage in this sentence in The Hobbit: 突然便会有一个臭烘烘的袋子“噗——”地罩住他的头. My dictionaries also list it as a verb.
-------------------------------

Editor: Thanks. Yes, "to cover" should be there.
I've taken the opportunity to review the whole entry.

Notes on the final sense:
罩得住(zhào dé zhù)
1、比喻能充分掌握、控制。
例句:这件事情你到底罩得住、罩不住啊?可不要给我捅纰漏!

面對突如其來的病毒風暴與有限的防疫物資,我們罩得住嗎?!

"What does ‎罩得住 mean?"
我看不懂日文,就用中文解释吧,前面的回答好像不大对,不是靠得住的意思。
罩得住之前一般用在一些黑帮电影里,意思是说黑帮头目在这片地方有足够的势力能应付各种挑衅,或者对自己的手下有足够的能力保护他们的安全,也能服得住他们。后来引申出来的意思也类似,有能胜任一个充满挑战的事情,或者能服得住一帮不好管理的人的意思,听上去比较痞,一般不用在正式场合
