- 1有辱人格的；屈辱的
A degrading experience is not only unpleasant. It makes you feel smaller as a person, as if respect for yourself has been taken away. Being shouted at in front of others, being forced to beg, or being handled like an object can all feel degrading. The hurt is about pride and respect, not only about pain or inconvenience. It is a strong, serious word; you hear it in news, law, and careful complaint more than in light chat. Though actually, speakers sometimes reach for it when they only mean "" or "," which makes it weaker than it should be. A messy job is not degrading by itself; being made to and say sorry in public might be. This entry is the adjective (a degrading remark). The verb degrade also has a science sense — plastic that breaks down in the sun — which is a different idea.
