Memory Tip
拆开记：un(不) + ashamed(羞愧) + ly(副词) → 毫不羞愧地做某事；也可联想成“坦然”，视语境而定。
Context & Register
语域：mixed 常见场景：book and film reviews、personal reflections、opinion pieces 该词表示“毫不掩饰地；坦然地”，但具体褒贬取决于语境：形容坦诚、真诚时通常为褒义，形容不顾他人感受时则接近“厚颜无耻”。多用于评论、访谈、个人陈述等需要表达态度的场合，正式与口语语境中都可能出现。
Pronunciation & Spelling
只有 ashamedly /əˈʃeɪmɪdli/ 与 unashamedly 真正押韵：两者重音都在 /ʃeɪm/，后面也都是 /ɪdli/。其他 -edly 词拼写相似、也以 /ɪdli/ 结尾，但重音落在不同音节（如 admittedly 的重音在 /mɪt/），所以只是形近词，不是同韵词。
