A low blow
     2015-May-21  08:53    Shenzhen Daily

    A low blow字面解释是“往下方的一击”,这是什么意思呢?请看对话:

    A: A former classmate from your college days accused you of using drugs then.

    B: This is just another low blow from my opponent. In college, I tried marijuana twice at parties. I didn’t like the stuff and it happened 40 years ago.

    Note: “A low blow” indicates an unscrupulous attack. In sports, it refers to an illegal blow in boxing that lands below the opponent’s waist. In the newspapers, there is always talk of a low blow. It can also mean a big disappointment. People also say “hitting below the belt” or “a cheap shot” to mean the same thing. For example: That is a real low blow. It’s either a deliberate lie or shows you simply don’t know much about the issue.
