You feel abashed when you have done something a bit wrong or a bit stupid, and now your face is hot and you want to look at the floor. It is a quiet, small feeling — not as heavy as ashamed, which can sit on you for days, and not the same as just shy, which you can feel before you have done anything at all. Though actually, people also say they felt abashed when someone praised them too loudly and they did not know where to look; the tidy idea is “I did something dumb,” but the real use is “I want to shrink.” It belongs more to stories and careful talk than to chat with friends, who will usually say . Abashed is how you feel. The old verb abash (to make someone feel that way) is rare now.
羞愧、不好意思、面有愧色
