Sep 4, 2011 · Shame是我在最近一段时间里看到的最好的片子了。它给人的感觉很诚实，很纯净，优雅且充满美感。虽然一开头法叔就放了大招让我在电影院里还是很晕眩了一阵子，但是随后，慢慢地，这片子就向我露出了它值得回味咀嚼的片段。 有几个点我觉得尤其值得称道。
Jan 1, 2014 · Senior Member. Derby (central England) English - England. Jan 1, 2014. #3. I agree. "What a shame of you" is not correct (and there are some other mistakes on that page).

Jun 8, 2010 · Spanish-Venezuela. Jun 8, 2010. #6. I agree in some way with what Sidlexia have said. "Spanish shame" is an expression coming from an spanish term. It's never used and, as Jinti have already said, there are other expressions used to say "pena/vergüenza ajena". Read the first part of this article. It might help.

Apr 14, 2014 · Hi Everybody, Does the "It would be a shame" in the below sentence mean "embarrassing"? It would be a shame if you lost it. OR it just means as : "it is too bad/ it is regrettable". Thank you for your time.
Oct 9, 2006 · Feb 18, 2012. #10. Dear all, "It's a shame, it's a pity" is, among other things, the title of a song by The Moondoggies.
