Be stranded at the beach?
1.In a dialogue,
WOMAN: I really want to see the play at the outdoor theater tonight. Will you come with me?
MAN: You know I hate battling all those mosquitoes. But...if you have your heart set on it...
So what does "have your heart set on it" mean? Does it mean "you really mean it"?
2. In another,
MAN: Your cousins just called. They're stranded at the beach.
WOMAN: So they didn't manage to get a lift after all.
Does "be stranded at the beach" just mean "have a rest at the beach",like soaking up in the sun?
