求几道英语相关问题的答案/翻译英语句子/被语法搞懵了

Question

1.Amateur video shows United Nations peace monitors edging their vans through anti-government protesters.这个句子里edging是什么意思呢？

6.the events are told in the same order 求翻译

7.Because the events happened in a certain order, it is important that the sentences in the story follow one another in a certain order.什么是follow one another？我只知道follow you这种加宾语的方式……或者翻译一下也行。

Answer 1

1.edge是边缘的意思，做动词就是一小步一小步地迈进的意思。
2.play也有名词的词性，这里bring into play是开始发挥作用的意思；后面那句就是说又有一股新兴的伊斯兰势力想要窃取革命的果实（没有上下文可能不太准确，我也是按着自己的想法写的，要是不对就麻烦发个上下文吧）
3.写作就是思考的体现而且也能拓宽你的思路。写作是你探索世界的一种方式，同时也是你改变世界的一种方式。这两种想法对你以后的写作会是一股强大的推动力。
4.往往这是中可行的办法（it不知道指什么……）
吃饭去了……回来再帮你弄
