"Man the fort" = Người canh giữ pháo đài -> Chịu trách nhiệm giám sát/trông giữ nơi nào/một vị trí mà không ai canh chừng hoặc khi ai vắng nhà.
Ví dụ
And I'm not successful enough to have a bunch of assistants to man the fort for me so I can peace-out. IT WAS MY GOAL [to be a veterinarian (bác sĩ thú y)].
Full disclosure (vạch trần, phơi bày): When Williams’s name was floated as being connected to the Patriots back during the summer, I endorsed (xác nhận) . . . passing on a deal for the pass protector. The Patriots needed to see whether Wynn, a 2018 first-rounder, could man the fort and stay on the field.
Another Ovitz friendship imploded (cụm lại) with equal notoriety (trạng thái rõ ràng): the one with CAA co-founder Ron Meyer. When their relationship dissolved, Meyer exited CAA for Universal, leaving Ovitz to man the fort alone. But don’t fret (phiền muộn) too much: Mike staged a breathtaking revenge (sự trả thù), snatching up a beach property Meyer had badly wanted before his ex-pal (người bạn cũ) could close the deal.
