意思
To tidy the bed.
文化背景
In Spain, 'hacer la cama' is the dominant phrase. 'Arreglar' is understood but might sound slightly foreign or overly formal in a domestic setting. Mexicans frequently use 'tender la cama'. The word 'tender' refers to the stretching of the sheets. 'Arreglar' is also very common and considered polite. In Argentina, 'arreglar la cama' and 'hacer la cama' are used interchangeably, though 'arreglar' often implies a more thorough tidying of the whole room's appearance. Similar to Mexico, 'tender la cama' is extremely common. There is a strong cultural emphasis on having the bed made before anyone else sees the room.
