Fair and Square

目前在体育比赛中存在的一个问题就是有的运动员为了取胜而在比赛前服用那些能增强体力的药。体育界有关方面也一直在设法阻止这种现象。下面是一个人在说他那参加赛跑比赛的朋友。

Jack won the race last week with flying colors. But other athletes suspected he had taken drugs before the race. I know Jack well - he's a person with high moral standards. I'm sure he won the race fair and square without any cheating.

这是说：杰克上星期在赛跑中以优异成绩获胜。但是，其他运动员怀疑他在赛跑前服了药。我很了解杰克。他是一个道德标准很高的人。我肯定他是老老实实取胜的；没有任何欺骗行为。

再来举一个例子说明fair and square的用法。这是一个很有钱的商人在说话。

I admit I've piled up a certain amount of money during the past ten years. But I made every penny fair and square. I've never cheated others and at the same time I don't let anybody else cheat me.

这个富商说：我承认我在过去十年内积累了一定数量的钱。但是，我的每一分钱都是老老实实地赚来的。我从来也没有欺骗过别人，同时也不允许别人欺骗我。
