165'

我们来看看这个用法的词源：
Not sure of the origin, but it may come from when clowns are at a circus andthey have eggs thrown at them because of their goofy acts or when actors had eggs thrown atthem performing in plays a couple of centuries ago.
马戏团的小丑们或演员们曾经因为一些垃圾的表演被观众扔鸡蛋，have egg on your face 可能就是从这引申过来的。这一幕和咱们古装剧里狗官被砍头时，街坊邻居们的表现如此的相似(⊙o⊙)…

Example:
1. I made a deal with Jack and ended up with egg on my face.
我和杰克做个交易,结果却害得我出了洋相。

2.Jim really had egg on his face after he lost the bicycle race to a 10 year old girl.　　
Jim 在比赛中输给了一个10岁的女孩，他感到很没面子。
