damnit, they've got us holed up. Проклятье, они заставили нас прятаться. Explanation: Как я понимаю, смысл фразы в том, что их заставили спрятаться. Поэтому подойдёт "заставили зарыться в землю", "найти укрытие", "спрятаться в сарае", "сидеть в окопах" или "в овраге", то есть ближе к "прижали к земле". "Они прижали нас" - тут ближе к тому, что их прижали к стенке, поставили в трудное положение, это другой оттенок, он, на мой взгляд, не очень подходит. --- --- Цитаты из разных источников ""Damn it, now they got us holed up in here". https://books.google.ru/books?id=DEkcAwAAQBAJ - книга Live!
