每個人都有不堪回首的往事，當這種難堪事不經(jīng)意間在腦?；胤?，你會再次飽嘗那種羞愧難當?shù)淖涛?，而且好長時間都會覺得不舒服，這就是cringe attack（羞愧綜合癥）。

The so-called cringe attack is to feel massively ashamed of past actions that you have personally done so that the suffered embarrassment tricks your body that you're about to have a heart attack. It is followed by episodes of further awkwardness and feeling uncomfortable for the rest of the day.

所謂的“羞愧綜合癥”就是對自己過去的行為感到羞愧難當，以至于身體也感到不適。在羞愧綜合癥爆發(fā)后，還會產生一陣陣的尷尬情緒，接下來一天都會覺得不舒服。

Example:

A: I looked at my yearbook today.

B: And are you feeling nostalgic?

A: Not at all dude... the way I used to dress and my haircut were so awful it gave me a cringe attack.

甲：我今天看了我的年鑒。

乙：是不是懷舊了？

甲：才不是嘞……我以前的穿著打扮和發(fā)型太可怕了，搞得我“羞愧綜合癥”都爆發(fā)了。
