uprightly(副词):正直地;诚实地;行为端正地。(也可指“直立地”,但更常用于描述品行与行为方式。)
/ˈʌpˌraɪtli/
She tried to live uprightly, even when no one was watching.

In the novel, the judge is remembered as a man who acted uprightly, refusing bribes and protecting the weak despite political pressure.
在小说里,这位法官被人们记为行事正直的人:他拒绝贿赂,并在政治压力下依然保护弱者。
uprightly 来自形容词 upright(直立的;正直的)加副词后缀 -ly(……地)。upright 原义与“身体直立、姿态端正”相关,后来引申为“品行端正、正直诚实”,因此 uprightly 常用来表达“以正直的方式行事”。
