"Right up one's alley" = ngay hẻm tôi luôn -> thích hợp với khả năng, sở thích hoặc khiếu thẩm mỹ của mình.

Ví dụ
Sharon’s mom had an old cedar chest (tủ bằng gỗ tuyết tùng), one she had since the 1930s, and I overheard her say one day that she’d like to have it refinished (phục hồi). Ah, that was right up my alley. I could do that little task and return it to her better than new.

The president could latch onto (chấp nhận) a higher calling (xu hướng) in education, for example. He could create a made-for-TV series out of events that unfairly cast him as the villain. If the show’s good enough, it could be renewed as a scripted series. Trump, she recalls, has a background in reality TV. This will be right up his alley.

After the opera, and at the age of 65, she began a new career in real estate, and became very successful. She quickly became known in the industry as the 'Condo Queen'. During this time, she also started acting in several Hale Center Theater productions in comedic roles, which was right up her alley. Darleen was a hoot (vui tính), and people loved being around her to be entertained, and to be loved.
