提问
1. I'm telling you, I've got it made with this Safety Patrol thing.
这句话的意思感觉像是Greg说他当安全巡逻员这事儿已经上手了,不知道对不对,也不知道是否是通过make with表达出来的。这里该怎么理解?
2. So tomorrow morning, when the Whirley Street kids come marching up our hill, me and Rowley are going to teach those guys a lessoon.
这句我觉得是那些孩子来占了我们的山头,可是我查到的march都是齐步走,行进,游行,示威,并没有占领这个意思。march up也好像不算什么短语,因为up后面跟的是our hill,很正常。那么march在日记中究竟是什么意思呢?
