  • 词义辨析

    shame, disgrace

    这两个词都含有“使羞耻、羞愧”“使丢脸”的意思。它们的区别是:
    disgrace强调的是失去他人的看重或受到冷遇即失宠; 而shame强调罪恶带来的羞愧。shame的语气较disgrace强烈。例如:
    He disgraced himself last night by drinking too much.他昨晚喝酒太多出了丑。
    The president's former adviser is now in disgrace.总统的前顾问现已失宠。

    这些动词都含“使丢脸、使受耻辱”之意。
    disgrace侧重在别人,尤其在众人面前丢脸。
    humiliate强调受辱者自尊心的损坏。
    shame指由不光彩或不道德的行为引起的惭愧感或羞耻感。
    dishonour有时可与disgrace换用,但前者是指因失去荣誉所致。
