每個人都有不堪回首的往事,當這種難堪事不經(jīng)意間在腦?;胤?,你會再次飽嘗那種羞愧難當?shù)淖涛?,而且好長時間都會覺得不舒服,這就是cringe attack(羞愧綜合癥)。
The so-called cringe attack is to feel massively ashamed of past actions that you have personally done so that the suffered embarrassment tricks your body that you're about to have a heart attack. It is followed by episodes of further awkwardness and feeling uncomfortable for the rest of the day.
所謂的“羞愧綜合癥”就是對自己過去的行為感到羞愧難當,以至于身體也感到不適。在羞愧綜合癥爆發(fā)后,還會產(chǎn)生一陣陣的尷尬情緒,接下來一天都會覺得不舒服。
Example:
A: I looked at my yearbook today.
B: And are you feeling nostalgic?
A: Not at all dude... the way I used to dress and my haircut were so awful it gave me a cringe attack.
甲:我今天看了我的年鑒。
乙:是不是懷舊了?
甲:才不是嘞……我以前的穿著打扮和發(fā)型太可怕了,搞得我“羞愧綜合癥”都爆發(fā)了。
