象 what a shame It's a shame 等等, 怎么用? 常听别人讲, 自己不会用.

shame:
1. an unlucky situation:
~~~It's a shame that the concert had to be cancelled.
~~~"Douglas is having to miss the school concert because he's ill."
"Oh, what a shame!"

2. a bad feeling of guilt


shame on you:
used to tell someone that they should feel sorry for something they did(can be friendly):
~~~Shame on you for being so unkind.
~~~HUMOROUS You mean you were in town and you didn't come and see us - shame on you!

or, sometimes, it's just "shame" 的原意，a condition of humiliating disgrace or disrepute (m-w.com)
好像在电影里看到的， you brought shame to all of us.

或者还有不知廉耻(贬义的)的意思， you've got no shame
