Take your marks意思

"Take your marks" is a phrase commonly used in track and field and other sports that involve starting a race or an event from a static position. It is a command given to athletes to signal them to get into their starting positions and prepare for the start of the event.

The phrase is typically followed by the starting signal, which could be a gunshot (for track events), a whistle, or a verbal command such as "set" or "go." Athletes will usually crouch down in their starting positions and wait for the start signal.

In some cases, "take your marks" may also be used in a more general sense to indicate that someone should prepare for an upcoming event or activity, although this usage is less common in a sports context.
