Back to square one = Back to the very first stage of something; returned to an initial starting point.

Square有“網(wǎng)格，方塊”的道理，”Back to square one就表白回到第一個網(wǎng)格，回到原點，從新再來。

這個短語根源于一種圍盤玩耍，該玩耍準則是從第一個方格發(fā)端。

【例句1】

If your design doesn't work, it's back to square one.

即使你的安排計劃波折，一切的十足都要從新發(fā)端。

【例句2】

His papers were lost in the accident, so he had to go back to square one.

他的輿論在這次事變中弄丟了，只好從新再寫。
