记忆技巧Memory Tip

square本义是“方形”，副词表“直接地”，想象两人正对成直角，不绕弯子。

语境与语域Context & Register

语域：informal 常见场景：直视某人、击中某处、正对中心 作为副词表示“直接地”时，通常用于口语或叙事性描写，常跟在 look、hit、stare 等动词后，带有直接、有力的语气；正式书面语中更常用 directly。请根据具体搭配选择自然用法。

发音与拼写Pronunciation & Spelling

These all rhyme with square /skwɛr/: the -are ending in care, dare, share, bare, and stare sounds like /ɛr/; wear is also a rhyme despite the -ear spelling. Beware lookalikes such as squire /skwaɪər/, which starts with the same squ- spelling but does not rhyme.
