"The lie of the land" = Địa thế của một vùng đất -> Sự thể, đầu đuôi của một sự việc.
Ví dụ
Gerrard has been in the Ibrox hotseat for a season, which has allowed him to get the lie of the land, find out where Rangers need to improve – and he will hope that his recruitment has improved from last summer.
When Rochford saw the lie of the land, he very quickly packed his bags, only for a few weeks later to link up with Donegal in a coaching capacity. The Mayo players’ silence at this turn of events told its own story. There was no great support among their ranks for Rochford to stay despite guiding the county to a couple of All-Ireland finals.
As the trees thin out and the path straightens, we emerge opposite the Visitor Centre. We’ve gone around in a circle. There is method in the trail’s meander, as the route reveals how Windmill End evolved. The loop around the lake is the Bumble Hole Arm, a stretch of ‘contour’ canal. These early canals were built using the lie of the land to avoid natural obstacles such as forests or hills. As a result, even short journeys could take several days. On the waterways time was money, so canals were constantly improved. Windmill End is one of many places where a later route scythed (cái hái) through the original ‘cut’, creating redundant loops or ‘arms’ to the sides.
Two years on and the lie of the land is that Mayo, albeit with new faces in their ranks, are still relying on the tried and trusted to get them over the line. Since the beginning of the rivalry (sự cạnh tranh), the names of Dublin's key men have changed, with Jack McCaffrey, Brian Fenton, Brian Howard and Ciarán Kilkenny now the mainstays (trụ cột chính) in a team where Diarmuid Connolly, Bernard Brogan and the promising Sean Bugler are eyeing a spot in the matchday squad.
