v.动词
disgrace, degrade, humble这组词都有“使丢脸”“使受耻辱”的意思。它们之间的区别是:
1.degrade多指因不道德的习惯或行为而丢脸; disgrace指因使人丢脸的、不光彩的行为而丢脸; humble仅指一种敬畏或卑微的心理状态。
2.degrade指人格受损; disgrace指丧失体面。试比较以下三个句子:
I degraded myself by stealing.我因偷窃而丢脸。
The contestant did not disgrace her mother- land.该选手没有给祖国丢脸。
I can't see why I should humble myself before others.我想不通为什么我在别人面前自卑。disgrace, shame这两个词都含有“使羞耻、羞愧”“使丢脸”的意思。其区别是：
disgrace强调的是失去他人的看重或受到冷遇即失宠; 而shame强调罪恶带来的羞愧。shame的语气较disgrace强烈。例如:
He disgraced himself last night by drinking too much.他昨晚喝酒太多出了丑。
The president's former adviser is now in disgrace.总统的前顾问现已失宠。disgrace，humiliate，shame，dishonour这些动词均含“使丢脸、使受耻辱”之意。

dishonour有时可与disgrace换用，但前者是指因失去荣誉所致。
