How do you say "shame on you" in Chinese?

A pretty strong statement, but not offensive - the context I want to use it in is directed towards
a country, like "Shame on you America!"

I was thinking 你真丢脸 but wasn't sure if that was really quite right or could be used in
that way.

Thanks!!!

consider “無恥！”.










ABCinChina -

How about "真是可恥的!" and in your context, "美國，你真是可恥的"

Somebody correct me if I am way off base here...

Quote:

"真是可恥的!"

I would drop the 是 and 的.










semantic nuance -

Consider: 不要臉!!

While I imagine this won't work in the context of "Shame on America!," sometimes when I get into
trouble, I will be scolded by my wife ”羞羞羞羞！，“ which is accompanied by a finger
stroking down against the cheek. Anyway, just an aside on a related usage of "shame"...

约翰好！

How do you translate the finger stroking down the cheek?

Does it signify tears, a blushing face, no face at all?










skylee -

It is called 刮羞. The person doing it is teasing the other(s) that he/she/they has/have done
something shameful / laughable.

哈哈，as one who is over 18, I was afraid of that!
