尴尬“捂脸”英文如何表达?
爱思英语编者按:朋友们聊天的时候说了句特别二的话,连自己都觉得不好意思,立刻用双手把脸捂起来。看到熊孩子把家里闹得天翻地覆,无奈的爸妈只有捂脸的份儿。话说,捂脸这个动作真的很好用! A facepalm is the physical gesture of placing one's hand flat across one's face or lowering one's face into one's hand or hands. The facepalm is a gesture which is common in many cultures, and even sometimes seen in chimpanzees! Although a facepalm is usually used to express frustration or embarrassment, in the context of a surrounding conversation it can also be used to express other emotions, such as disgust or dismay. A facepalm is often a reaction to a momentary lapse in common sense, judgement, or logical behaviour. It can be directed towards another person – i.e.: a non-verbal way of saying "I can't believe you just said/did that …" – or used in a self-deprecating way to make it clear to others that you're aware that you've said or done something stupid. Facepalm first appeared about five years ago, and has steadily gained ground as a popular term in Internet culture. |
