我们今天一起来看看shame这个英文单词如何用。
首先，我们来看它作“羞耻，耻辱”意，讲时，是作为“不可数名词”用。
英文释义为： the feelings of sadness, embarrassment and guilt that you have when you know that sth you have done is wrong or stupid.
看个例句：
His face burned with shame.
他的脸因羞愧而发烫。
接着，我们来看shame做可数名词的情况，
作可数名词时，用作单数形式，译为“令人惋惜的事；让人遗憾的事 ”
英文释义为：used to say that sth is a cause for feeling sad or disappointed.
It’s a shame that she wasn’t here to see it.
真可惜她不能在这儿亲眼看看。
另外，shame还可以作动词，是“使羞愧（或惭愧），使蒙受耻辱；使丢脸 ”的意思。
我们来看看它的英文释义： to make sb feel ashamed；to make sb feel that they have lost honour or respect.
His generosity shamed them all.
他的大度使他们都感到羞愧。
我们这里加一个以shame作动词的词组:
shame sb into doing sth
使某人羞愧而不得不做（某事）
to persuade sb to do sth by making them feel ashamed not to do it
She shamed her father into promising more help.
她使父亲感到过意不去，只好答应多给她些帮助。
