怎么理解这里的make our settlement和were bake on our feet?

Question

We swept up the surrounding mud to make our settlement and were back on our feet soon.

Answer 1

这句话的汉语意思是: 我们打扫干净周围的泥土，安顿下来，很快就恢复过来。
to make our settlement动词不定式作目的状语，打扫干净周围的泥土的目的就是make our settlement ( 安顿下来)。
and连接两个谓语动词swept 和were。
were back on our feet 直译:回到我们脚站的位置。意译:站稳脚根。追答

如还有不清楚的，请追问！

Answer 2

make settlement，安置、安顿，结算。
back on feet是回到原来状态。如，
During his election campaign he promised to put the economy back on its feet.
我们打扫干净周围的泥土，安顿好，很快就恢复过来了。
