把東西歸位的動作與工具
形容詞描述結果，這一支描述怎麼達成那個結果：把東西一件一件放回原位的動作，以及專門用來收納小東西的那個容器。
make neat · verb · A2
To make a place look tidy by putting things in the right places.
整理；收拾
核心畫面

可以想成：一張每樣東西都在它該在的位置上的桌子——筆插在筆筒裡、紙疊得整整齊齊、桌面上沒有隨手擱著的東西。要注意它講的是「秩序」不是「乾淨」：一個 tidy 的房間還是可能有灰塵，clean 才是講乾淨。從這個畫面長出來的，有愛整齊的人、把東西歸位的動作，還有把想法也擺放得很有條理的腦袋。From the picture
心思有條理
把腦袋想成一個房間：想法一件件歸位、不亂堆，就是條理分明。這一支只出現在固定說法裡。
clear, organized (mind) · adjective · A2
If someone has a tidy mind, they think in a clear and organized way.
有條理的（心思）
一筆可觀的錢（口語）
這一支跟「整齊」的關聯，現代英文裡已經感覺不太出來了，比較像一個獨立的口語說法；與其硬套比喻，直接記住這個組合比較實用。
fairly large (sum) · adjective · A2
Used before words like sum or profit to mean a fairly large amount of money.
可觀的；一大筆（錢）
