语域：formal 常见场景：literary prose、written descriptions of glances、formal discourse sidelong 作副词时表示“斜着、向侧面”，多用于书面或文学性描述，尤其在描写侧视或侧向动作时比较常见；日常口语中更常用 sideways。
The final syllable /lɒŋ/ matches in along, belong, and long, which rhyme with each other. Headlong, lifelong, and oblong share the -long spelling but stress their first syllable, so they do not rhyme with long or sidelong. Sidelong stresses 'side', so it has no perfect rhyme here.
