  1、shy

  英语释义:nervous and uncomfortable with other people

  Children are often shy of/with people they don't know.

  孩子们和不认识的人在一起时常常会害羞。

  音乐吸引那个害羞的姑娘走出了深闺。

  英语释义:unwilling to be noticed or to be with other people

  Joanna had a gentle retiring disposition.

  乔安娜性格温柔而腼腆。

  He is a very quiet and retiring person.

  他是一位沉默寡言不爱交际的人。

  4、coy

  (尤指女性)害羞的,腼腆的,忸怩作态的

  英语释义:(especially of women) being or pretending to be shy, or like a child

  She gave me a coy look from under her schoolgirl's fringe.

  她透过她那学生式的刘海羞答答地瞥了我一眼。

  Coy girls often like to play cat and mouse with boys.

  害羞的女孩时常令男孩子捉摸不定。

  【小知识】

  5、timid

  露西是个非常羞怯的孩子。

  6、sheepish

  羞怯的;局促不安的;驯服的;胆怯的

  She had a rather sheepish smile.

  她笑起来很害羞的样子。

  【小知识】

  sheep指的是“绵羊”,含有褒义,可以指害羞而忸怩的人。而goat就常含有贬义,比如act the goat是干蠢事,old goat是老色鬼。

  就像是那个经典的习语:separate the sheep from the goats(分出优劣)。

  7、shamefaced

  害羞的;惭愧的

  英语释义:awkward and embarrassed or ashamed

  Do not be so shamefaced. You'll do it very well.

  别那么脸皮薄,你会做得很好的。

  He looked somewhat shamefaced when he realized his mistake.

  他认识到自己的错误后,看上去有些惭愧。

  【小知识】

  容易混淆的“shame”同根词:

  ①shameful可耻的,丢脸的

  I couldn't see anything shameful in what I had done.

  我认为我没做什么丢脸的事。

  ②ashamed羞耻的,羞愧的;不好意思的,难为情的

  You've got nothing to be ashamed of.

  你没有什么可感到内疚的。

  ③shameless无耻的,不要脸的

  She is completely shameless about her ambition.

  8、blushing

  脸红的

  From a merry child, then a blushing maid, she has become a perfect woman now.

  从一个天真烂漫的孩子,到一个腼腆害羞的姑娘,她现在已长成一个姿容出众的女子。

  我想大家都知道,blush可以做名词和动词,表示“脸红”。很多时候我们脸红,其实也是因为“害羞”嘛。

  I blush to think of what a fool I made of myself.

  一想到我出了那么大洋相我就脸红。
