When someone says something perhaps cruel or unkind about someone, even if it's true, we would say that's " below the belt, " that's not playing by the rules, not being nice.
" Below the belt" is a common expression, and that usually means someone who is doing something in a competition or in a fight, especially in sports, that is illegal – that is not allowed.
“Below the belt” 是一个常见的表达方式,通常意味着某在比赛或打架中做某事, 尤其是在体育运动中, 这是非法的——这是不允许的。
