You can picture a hand that does not shake. Whatever it is doing, it keeps the same level, the same speed, the same direction — nothing jumps, nothing wobbles, nothing stops. Both uses of steadily come back to that unshaking hand: one puts it in a person (calm eyes, calm breathing), the other stretches it over time (a line on a chart that keeps climbing).
steadily 可以想成一隻不會抖的手:不管它在做什麼,高度一樣、速度一樣、方向一樣,不跳動、不搖晃、也不中斷。這個字的兩種用法都能從這隻手看出來——一種是把它放在人身上(眼神穩、呼吸穩),一種是把它拉長到時間裡(一條一路往上、沒有起伏的線)。
