名词“name”在这个短语中被当作动词使用,表示“说出…的名称或姓名”。“Shame”作名词时的意思有“羞愧,遗憾”,在这里其动词形式所表达的意思是“使…感到羞愧,羞辱”。在正式场合中,可以用“name and shame”表示“公开指责”的意思;在日常对话中,它可以被理解为“点名批评”。 例句The newspaper article named and shamed celebrities who are not paying their taxes. The manager has decided to name and shame the tardiest team members. The club plans to name and shame members who do not pay their membership fees on time. |
