[請益] bearings在文中的意思

[norge (Boston)]

在一篇關於香港迪士尼佔地太小的文章中

After building a theme park complex outside Paris
in the early 1990s that was much bigger than demand
ultimately warranted (and is still causing thecompany
headaches), Disney pursued the opposite strategy with
Hong Kong, where plnas called for growth inphases.
"We wanted to get our bearings when it came to our
Asian consumers," Mr. Ernest said, noting that
Chinese children have not traditionally grown up
with Mickey Mouse and his cartoon friends.


請問倒數第四行中的bearings要怎麼理解比較好呢？

謝謝
