说到“不要脸”,我们都会想到"no face",可是"no face"的表达其实不太准确哦,让我们看看“不要脸”有哪些表达方式吧!
adj.无耻的;没廉耻的;不要脸的
If you describe someone as shameless, you mean that they should be ashamed of their behaviour, which is unacceptable to other people.
One can be shameless, but not to this extent!
人可以无耻,但是不可以无耻到这种地步。
shameless 来源于 shame,关于 shame 还有以下表达:
have no sense of shame 没有羞耻心
shame on you (informal) (责备时说)真丢脸,真不害臊
英 [ˈtʃiːki] 美 [ˈtʃiːki]

If you describe a person or their behaviour as cheeky, you think that they are slightly rude or disrespectful but in a charming or amusing way.

他那直立的头发和咧着嘴的笑容使他更像个厚脸皮的家伙。
根据牛津词典的解释,我们可以看出,cheeky在表达“厚脸皮,不要脸”的意思时,语气往往没有那么重,如果是与同辈之间开玩笑说“不要脸”的时候可以用这个词哟!
