"the borrowed" refers to the vector (or vectors), not to the reference. What could be said is "does not allow mutation through the borrowed reference".

I like "through" I think it helps me understand better.

fn foo(v1: &Vec<i32>, v2: &Vec<i32>) -> i32 {
// do stuff with v1 and v2
let s1 = sum_vec(v1);
