语境与语域Context & Register
语域：formal 常见场景：literary fiction、news reports shamefaced 比较正式，多用于书面或文学描写，指因羞愧或尴尬而显露的难为情神情；日常口语中较少使用，更常说 embarrassed 或 ashamed。
发音与拼写Pronunciation & Spelling
这些词大多以 /eɪst/ 结尾，与 shamefaced 末尾的 -faced 读音相同（faced、haste、taste、waste、chaste）；由于 shamefaced 的重音在 shame 上，它们不是严格的整词押韵。注意 shame 只是 shamefaced 的开头拼写，读 /ʃeɪm/，不要把它当作整词读音。
