回复 369#yangbaobaobaba 的帖子
我遇见过一件事。是在国外的学校里,小朋友春游,老师说要小朋友可以问父母要点钱,春游结束后买一张明信片寄给你的朋友或家人,告诉他们你来过这里。当然大多数都带了,只有一个小朋友对老师说:我妈妈说不需要。所以他没有买。老师说:What a shame.
Unless not going with the kid's mom to her annual party would result in serious consequences to the kid (e.g. the kid had been keenly longing for the party for considerable times before he got to know the disappointing news, and he tasted the pain bitterly). Actually, the kid had something else to do, and, not going to the party was unfortunate for him, but still it was not a big deal.
你是认为,说不去妈妈的Party不是太大的事,不合适用shame对吗?而我举的例子对孩子来说比较大了,所以可以说What a shame?
