         DefinitionShort: a painful feeling due to the consciousness of having done or experienced something disgraceful

         Glosses: ['shame', 'disgrace']

         Comments: In some languages ‘shame’ may be referred to by a descriptive expression, for example, ‘the feeling of being caught doing something bad’ or ‘the feeling of being seen while sinning.’ In other languages ‘shame’ is expressed idiomatically as ‘to hang the head’ or ‘to turn away the eyes’ or ‘to hide from people’s stares.’

         DefinitionShort: to act in defiance of social and moral standards, with resulting disgrace, embarrassment, and shame

         Glosses: ['to act shamefully', 'indecent behavior', 'shameful deed']

         Comments: Behavior involving disgrace, embarrassment, and shame is often expressed in an idiomatic manner, for example, ‘to bury one’s face,’ ‘to hide one’s eyes,’ or ‘to feel stabbed by people’s eyes.’ Since shame is seemingly a universal type of feeling, there is usually no difficulty involved in obtaining a satisfactory equivalent.
