If you roundly criticise or roundly condemn someone, you do it strongly, fully, and with no softness — a hard, complete telling-off, often in public. The word almost lives glued to verbs of blame: criticise, condemn, denounce, attack.

If you roundly criticise or roundly condemn someone如果你roundly批評或roundly譴責某人，you do it strongly, fully, and with no softness你是強烈、徹底，而且毫不留情地在做這件事——a hard, complete telling-off是一頓狠狠的、徹底的責罵，often in public而且常常是公開的。The word這個詞 almost lives glued to verbs of blame幾乎黏在指責類的動詞上：criticise, condemn, denounce, attack像是criticise、condemn、denounce、attack。

You can also hear roundly defeated, where it means thoroughly, completely beaten; that is the same ‘all the way, no half measures’ feeling, stretched off the blame verbs.

You can also hear你也會聽到 roundly defeated roundly defeated這個說法，where it means thoroughly, completely beaten意思是徹底、完全被擊敗；that is the same 'all the way, no half measures' feeling這跟前面「做到底、不留餘地」的感覺是一樣的，stretched off the blame verbs只是從指責類動詞延伸出來的用法。

What it does not mean, though actually this is the trap, is ‘in a circle’ or ‘in a round shape’. If you only know round as a circle, roundly looks like it should mean ‘in a circular way’, but that reading is rare to the point of being a joke.

What it does not mean它不表示的意思，though actually this is the trap不過這裡有個陷阱，is 'in a circle' or 'in a round shape'是「以圓形的方式」或「呈圓形」。If you only know round as a circle如果你只知道round是「圓形」的意思，roundly looks like it should mean 'in a circular way'roundly看起來好像應該是「以圓的方式」，but that reading is rare to the point of being a joke但這種理解幾乎是笑話等級的罕見。

The tone is a little formal, a little newspaper-like; a child would just say they told him off badly. Older English used roundly more widely for ‘plainly, bluntly, thoroughly’; today’s student will mostly meet the ‘strongly criticised’ use, and then the cousin ‘roundly beaten / defeated’.

The tone語氣 is a little formal, a little newspaper-like有點正式，有點新聞腔；a child而小孩子 would just say they told him off badly就只會說「把他罵得很慘」。Older English更早期的英語 used roundly more widely for 'plainly, bluntly, thoroughly'把roundly用得更廣，指「直白地、坦率地、徹底地」；today's student而今天的學生 will mostly meet the 'strongly criticised' use大多會碰到「被嚴厲批評」這個用法，and then the cousin 'roundly beaten / defeated'然後是它的近親「roundly beaten／defeated」。
