太尴尬了只好“捂脸”朋友们聊天的时候说了句特别二的话，连自己都觉得不好意思，立刻用双手把脸捂起来。看到熊孩子把家里闹得天翻地覆，无奈的爸妈只有捂脸的份儿。话说，捂脸这个动作真的很好用！
A facepalm is the physical gesture of placing one's hand flatacross one's face or lowering one's face into one's hand or hands.The facepalm is a gesture which is common in many cultures, andeven sometimes seen in chimpanzees!
Facepalm指的是用手捂住脸或将脸埋进手掌的肢体动作，即“捂脸”。捂脸这种动作在很多文化中都很常见，连大猩猩也会呢！
Although a facepalm is usually used to express frustration orembarrassment, in the context of a surrounding conversation it canalso be used to express other emotions, such as disgust or dismay.A facepalm is often a reaction to a momentary lapse in commonsense, judgement, or logical behaviour. It can be directed towardsanother person – i.e.: a non-verbal way of saying "I can't believeyou just said/did that …" – or used in a self-deprecating way tomake it clear to others that you're aware that you've said or donesomething stupid。
这个动作多用来表达沮丧或者尴尬，不过，在对话语境中，也可以用来表达厌恶或失望的情绪。在常识、判断或者逻辑短暂缺失的情况下，我们通常会做出捂脸的动作。同时，这个动作也可以指向他人，即，用无声的方式表达“我真不敢相信你说了那样的话/做了那样的事，”或者用来自嘲，让别人明白，你知道自己做了傻事或者说了傻话。
Facepalm first appeared about five years ago, and has steadilygained ground as a popular term in Internet culture。
捂脸一词大约出现在五年前，现在已经成为网络文化流行词。
