Squarely (adv.)(不偏不倚地)
字根 square (n.) 是「正方形」,但副詞的 squarely 是解作「正面地」或「不偏不倚地」,帶有 directly、firmly、straight 的意思。形容某人直挺挺地打中對方某個身體部位,英文是 hit/punch + sb. + squarely + on + body part。
e.g. The report pins the blame squarely on the government’s refugee policy for the soaring crime rate.
e.g. Nice shot. The arrow hit the bullseye squarely. —————————————————
