正合某人的心意

    Right是“符合”的意思, alley是“小巷”的意思，那么 right up one’s alley 是什么意思呢？请看对话：

    A: Cici, I had a great time in southern Taiwan, lying on the beach all day; I would never get tired of such a life.

    B: Yeah, I had a great time too.

    A: In addition to the coastal scenery, I love to visit local museums and go shopping for luxurious things. It’s a pity that we couldn’t find such places there.

    B Well then, for our next vacation we can go to Paris! It sounds right up your alley.

    A: So you mean the art galleries, street performance and fancy shops in Paris are right up my alley?

    B: That’s right. Let’s make a plan.

    Note: “Right up one’s alley” means something meets one’s preference or suits one’s taste.
