歌手海蒂·迈瑞起诉乡村音乐巨星凯莉·安德伍德，因为后者演唱的“星期日晚上足球”的主题曲“Game On”和迈瑞两年的同名歌曲“几乎完全一样”。请看本报周五的报道：

Carrie Underwood has been accused of plagiarizing and is facing a lawsuit from singer Heidi Merrill that claims the “American Idol” winner’s song “Game On” was straight up lifted from a similar song by Merrill — and even has the exact same name.

Merrill, a Nebraska native, rose to Internet fame in 2015 with her song “Cornhusker Strong,” a sports anthem that raised her profile. Two years later, she tried to increase her brand by putting the song and video for “Game On” on YouTube.

报道中的straight up是个表示“事情出乎意料但的确如此”的加强语气词，可译为“其实、真的”。例如：

I’m telling you, she straight up screamed at me. It was insane.

我告诉你，她真的冲我吼了。岂有此理！
