解析:

1 let me in on

         在这里是你打算和我说(告诉,分享)什么大秘密吗?

3 got a line on

英文释义:get a line on=obtain information about sth

中文释义:抢先一不,取得先机

5  be sitting pretty

英文释义:in a fortunate and enviable(另人羡慕的,嫉妒的) position

中文释义形容一种状态)坐着就能等钱来,坐着就能将万事搞定

在这里指就等着坐着数钱吧

6 hush-hush(adj.)

hush 相当于汉语中的"嘘",就是安静一点的意思,秘密都是小声说的,所以hush-hush引申为谨慎的,保守秘密的意思.





ps: privately= in private 私底下的

      private school 私立学校

     public school  公立学校
