A bashful person gets embarrassed easily when other people look at them or talk to them — at a party, when they are praised, when they have to speak up. It is a kind of shyness you can see: a bashful smile, eyes down, not knowing where to put your hands.

A bashful person一個bashful的人 gets embarrassed easily很容易感到不好意思 when other people look at them or talk to them當別人看著他們或跟他們說話的時候——at a party在派對上、when they are praised被稱讚的時候、when they have to speak up或是必須開口說話的時候。It它 is是 a kind of shyness you can see一種看得出來的害羞：a bashful smile像是bashful smile，靦腆的微笑、eyes down眼睛往下看、not knowing where to put your hands不知道手要放哪裡。

The word is a little old-fashioned and a little soft; it often sounds warm, even cute, not cruel. People use it of children, of someone in love, or in stories more than of a colleague in a meeting (there you might say shy or awkward).

The word這個字 is是 a little old-fashioned and a little soft有點老派、也有點軟；it它 often sounds warm, even cute, not cruel聽起來常常很溫暖，甚至有點可愛，而不是殘忍。People人們 use it用它 of children來形容小孩、of someone in love戀愛中的人、or in stories more than of a colleague in a meeting或是故事裡的人物，比較少用來形容開會時的同事 (there你在那種場合 you might say shy or awkward可能會說shy或awkward)。

It is not fear, and it is not rudeness. The bashful person is not trying to be cold; attention just makes them go red.

It它 is not fear不是恐懼，and而且 it它 is not rudeness也不是無禮。The bashful person這種bashful的人 is not trying to be cold不是故意想表現得冷淡；attention注意力 just makes them go red只是會讓他們臉紅而已。
