"Toe the mark" -> nghĩa là tuân thủ mệnh lệnh/quy tắc. Câu này bắt nguồn từ những cuộc thi chạy, vận động viên xếp hàng, bắt buộc phải đặt chân trên vạch xuất phát.

Ví dụ
Black Adam is blessed (được ban tặng) by magic with powers equal to SUPERMAN, but the difference is he doesn't toe the mark or walk the line.

“This nonsense about conditioning aid is a bit arrogant (kiêu ngạo),” Engel added, “because we’d essentially be telling Israel, if you don’t toe the mark, if when we crack the whip you don’t jump, we’re gonna pull it away from you. That’s not how one ally treats another ally.”

Former lawyer: O.J. must toe the mark. F. Lee Bailey, famed (lừng danh) criminal defense attorney in the O.J. Simpson 1995 murder trial, says Simpson will toe the mark upon release from jail following Nevada parole officials decision to grant him parole.
