It is a shame!这是一句可以用在许多适当情况的口语 (Catch-all phrase),是表示一种轻度的「遗憾」或「同情」(a form of sympathy or regret) 但没有「羞耻」的意思。例如:
It is a shame that your car got stuck in the snow.(你的汽车陷在雪里,真糟糕。) When I said, "I lost ten dollars from my pocket.",he replied, "It is a shame!"(当我说:「我从口袋里掉了十块钱」,他回答:「真遗憾?」)
至於 "What a shame",其实与 "it is a shame" 意思相似,也有 "It is too bad" 的味道。例如: What a shame that his son's behavior is so rude.(他儿子的粗鲁行为是令人遗憾的)作者: adjust 时间: 2014-11-12 14:22
