“害羞”的英语表达 下
5、timid 羞怯的;胆小的,胆怯的 英语释义:shy and nervous; without much confidence; easily frightened Kieran is a timid child. 露西是个非常羞怯的孩子。 6、sheepish 羞怯的;局促不安的;驯服的;胆怯的 She had a rather sheepish smile. 她笑起来很害羞的样子。 【小知识】 sheep指的是“绵羊”,含有褒义,可以指害羞而忸怩的人。而goat就常含有贬义,比如act the goat是干蠢事,old goat是老色鬼。 就像是那个经典的习语:separate the sheep from the goats(分出优劣)。 7、shamefaced 害羞的;惭愧的 英语释义:awkward and embarrassed or ashamed Do not be so shamefaced. You'll do it very well. 别那么脸皮薄,你会做得很好的。 He looked somewhat shamefaced when he realized his mistake. 他认识到自己的错误后,看上去有些惭愧。 【小知识】 容易混淆的“shame”同根词: ①shameful可耻的,丢脸的 I couldn't see anything shameful in what I had done. 我认为我没做什么丢脸的事。 ②ashamed羞耻的,羞愧的;不好意思的,难为情的 You've got nothing to be ashamed of. 你没有什么可感到内疚的。 ③shameless无耻的,不要脸的 She is completely shameless about her ambition. 她对自己的野心全然不知羞耻。 8、blushing 脸红的 From a merry child, then a blushing maid, she has become a perfect woman now. 从一个天真烂漫的孩子,到一个腼腆害羞的姑娘,她现在已长成一个姿容出众的女子。 我想大家都知道,blush可以做名词和动词,表示“脸红”。很多时候我们脸红,其实也是因为“害羞”嘛。 I blush to think of what a fool I made of myself. 一想到我出了那么大洋相我就脸红。 |
