Disgraceful means so bad that it brings shame — bad, embarrassing, or not acceptable. We say it about what people do, not usually about a clumsy body: leaving a hurt animal in the road, cheating, being cruel, treating someone badly.

Disgraceful means so bad that it brings shameDisgraceful指的是壞到會讓人蒙羞的程度—— bad, embarrassing, or not acceptable很糟糕、丟臉，或讓人無法接受。 We say it about what people do我們是用它來形容人做的事， not usually about a clumsy body通常不是形容笨手笨腳的身體動作： leaving a hurt animal in the road把受傷的動物丟在路上不管、 cheating作弊、 being cruel殘忍、 treating someone badly對人不好。

It is a strong, judging word. Parents, teachers, and newspapers use it when they want you to feel the shame, not only that something was “wrong.” It can sound a little stiff, but people still say it when they are angry.

It is a strong, judging word這是個語氣很重、帶著批判的字。 Parents, teachers, and newspapers use it家長、老師、報紙會用它， when they want you to feel the shame, not only that something was “wrong.”是想讓你感受到那份羞恥，而不只是覺得「這樣不對」而已。 It can sound a little stiff它聽起來可能有點生硬， but people still say it when they are angry但人們生氣的時候還是會這麼說。

You can also use it about a state of things (“the room was in a disgraceful mess”), meaning it is so bad it feels like a shame, not only untidy.

You can also use it about a state of things你也可以用它來形容一種狀態（“the room was in a disgraceful mess”像“the room was in a disgraceful mess”這樣，房間亂得丟臉）， meaning it is so bad it feels like a shame, not only untidy意思是糟到讓人覺得丟臉，而不只是亂而已。

Though actually, it is not the opposite of graceful. A person can move smoothly and still do something disgraceful. The word is about shame, not about how someone walks.

Though actually不過其實， it is not the opposite of graceful它不是graceful（優雅）的反義詞。 A person can move smoothly一個人可以動作很流暢， and still do something disgraceful卻還是做出丟臉的事。 The word is about shame這個字講的是羞恥， not about how someone walks不是講一個人走路的樣子。
