2. sitting pretty = in a fortunate position
處于幸運的境地
Pretty 有“美麗、機靈”的意思，sitting pretty作為一個習慣用語，它的意思并不是具體地說一個人坐在那里很漂亮。Sitting pretty作為習慣用語的真正含義就是一個人處于優勢的地位；各個方面的條件都對他有利。
例如：
A: I heard that Michael and Jennifer got a good price when they sold their house.
我聽說邁克和詹妮弗的房子賣了個好價錢。
B: Yes, they did. Now they're really sitting pretty. As a matter of fact, they're thinking of going on a long vacation.
是啊。他們運氣真的很好。事實上，他們正打算休個長假呢。
