词语用法

adj. (形容词)

1. ashamed意思是“羞愧的,惭愧的”,表示的是人的一种心理体验,指为自己或别人有缺点(做错了事、说错了话、没有尽到责任等)而感到羞耻、惭愧不安或内疚,也可表示不好意思、难为情等。
2. ashamed是以a-开头的形容词,在其前没有修饰语的情况下在句中一般不能用作定语,只能用作表语,偶尔也可用作宾语补足语。
3. ashamed用作表语时,常与介词of〔at〕或for搭配。介词不同,含义用法也不尽相同。(be) ashamed的后面还可以接that从句。
4. (be) ashamed可接不定式作补足语,意思是“耻于做某事”或“因做了某事而感羞愧”。多表示非意愿性的动作, ashamed所描述的情况是动词不定式产生的结果。主语与动词不定式没有逻辑上的动宾关系,所以当不定式为及物动词时,须加上宾语。
5. (be) ashamed of是常用的习语,表示导致“羞愧的,惭愧的”原因,即“为…而感到羞愧”。of的宾语可以由名词、代词(含反身代词)、动名词和疑问词引导的从句等充当。当动名词表示的是非意愿性动作时, of可换为at。(be) ashamed for sb 的意思是“替…感到羞愧”; (be) ashamed of oneself for sth/ v -ing的意思是“为…自感羞愧”。
6. ashamed不用very修饰,但可用much或very much修饰,用very much比用much更普遍。

词义辨析

adj. (形容词)

be ashamed at, be ashamed of

• 这两个短语意思相近。其区别是：
• ashamed at后面接的动名词必须是个非意愿性动词; ashamed of后面则不一定,可以是意愿性动词,也可以是非意愿性动词。例如：
• I am ashamed at not writing you sooner.
• 我为没有早日给你回信感到惭愧。
• The candidate was ashamed of his cheating in the English examination.
• 那考生为自己在英语考试中的作弊行 为而感惭愧。

be ashamed of v-ing, be ashamed to-v

• ashamed可接动词不定式,也可接“of+动名词”。一般说来,动词不定式所表示的动作是还未发生的,而动名词所表示的动作则是已发生的。例如：
• Aren't you ashamed to talk like that?
• 难道你讲得出这样的话吗?
• Aren't you ashamed of talking like that?
• 难道你讲了那样的话却不觉得难为情?
• She was ashamed to ask for help.
• 她耻于请求帮助。
• She was ashamed of asking for help.
• 她为请求帮助而羞愧。

ashamed, shameful, shameless

• ashamed的意思是“羞耻,惭愧”,故其主语是人,一般只用作表语; shameful的意思是“可耻的”,通常修饰事物或行为,既可作表语,也可作定语; shameless的语气最重,意思是“无耻的”,可修饰事物或行为,也可指人,在句中可以作表语,也可以作定语。例如：
• I'm ashamed of myself for being so stupid.
• 我因自己这么愚蠢而感到惭愧。
• Such shameful conduct should be stopped.
• 这种可耻的行为是不容许的。
• He was so shameless that he said she loved him.
• 他竟这样的恬不知耻地说她爱他。

ashamed, embarrassed

• 这两个词意思相近。其区别是：
• ashamed的意思是“惭愧”,指自知做了错事而感到内疚; embarrassed的意思是“感觉局促不安”,指因为某事使自己显得愚昧可笑。例如：
• He was ashamed that he had lied.
• 他因撒了谎而感到羞耻。
• She was embarrassed when they kept telling her how clever she was.
• 他们不停地说她非常聪明,令她感到 不好意思。

ashamed, chagrined, humiliated, mortified

• 这组词都可表示“惭愧”“内疚”。其区别是：
• ashamed强调因自己做了错事,而感觉“惭愧”“羞耻”; chagrined指因做事不当而觉得“难为情”“心烦”“失望”, humiliated强调在他人面前遭受奚落或羞辱而感到“内心痛苦”; mortified指受极端羞辱而“惴惴不安”,有时也含有ashamed的意思。例如：
• Later she felt ashamed at her lack of self-control.
• 后来,她为自己缺乏自制力而感到惭 愧。
• I was chagrined to find that I had left the tickets at home.
• 我发现把票忘在家里了,觉得很懊恼。
• He was mortified when he forgot his speech.
• 他忘记演讲词时,感觉羞愧无比。
• Parents are humiliated if their children be- have badly when guests are present.
• 子女在客人面前举止失当,父母也失 体面。

下面两句意思不同:

• I was ashamed for him.
• 我替他感到羞愧。
• I was ashamed of him.
• 我为他感到羞愧。

ashamed，shameful

• 这两个形容词均含“羞愧的”之意。
• ashamed用于人，指因干了错事、坏事或傻事等而感到羞愧。
• shameful指人或人的行为本身不光彩、不道德。

常见错误

adj. (形容词)

1. 他看上去有愧。

   误 It is ashamed that he looks it.

   正 He looked ashamed.

   析 ashamed是表示感情的形容词,主语一定是感到惭愧的人,不可用“It is ashamed that...”句型。
