- 1厚顏無恥地、明目張膽地（做壞事還大大方方，一點都不心虛）
In a way that is completely open about doing something wrong, and shows no shame at all. The whole force of the word is in the missing shame: someone who lies brazenly is not lying secretly and getting caught — they are lying to your face and not caring that you can tell. It goes with verbs of and of looking: 'brazenly lied', 'brazenly cheated', 'brazenly ignored the rules', 'brazenly stared'. Journalists and speakers reaching for outrage use it constantly, and it is nearly always . There is one softer use, about boldness with people — flirting brazenly, walking in brazenly — where it means in a way the speaker may half admire. Related shapes: the adjective 'brazen' ('a brazen lie'), and the verb phrase 'brazen it out', which means to get through an situation by refusing to look ashamed.
組成brazen + -ly. 'Brazen' first meant 'made of brass' — brass is a hard, bright, unblushing metal — and the picture of a face as hard as brass, one that cannot go red, gave us the meaning 'shameless'.
