Racks or racket?
⁌ ULY ⁍added a comment 8 лет назад
_AL: neither your explanation nor your translation make any sense because the English post doesn't make any sense. An English-speaking person would say "I asked him what the racks were about" so this was either written by a non-English speaker, or not properly written down by the person who posted this question. Either way, the word RACKS has a lot of meanings, and BED is the last one I would assign it in any situation, especially this one. Perhaps the author could give us more context?
