例句
Saying he wasn't very good in math just because he got a 99 on the test was really hitting below the belt.
就因為他考了個99就說他數學不是很好太苛刻了吧。
In the late 1800s this saying took on a meaning outside the boxing ring (which, curiously enough, is actually square). Hitting someone "below the belt" has come to mean committing an act of foul play that is unkind and nasty, like an illegal punch in boxing.
19世紀末,這一習語也用於拳擊場之外(倒也是很合理的),hitting someone below the belt也意味著你做的事是很具有惡意的。
