朋友們聊天的時候說了句特別二的話，連自己都覺得不好意思，立刻用雙手把臉捂起來。看到熊孩子把家裡鬧得天翻地覆，無奈的爸媽只有捂臉的份兒。話說，捂臉這個動作真的很好用！
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指的是用手捂住臉或將臉埋進手掌的肢體動作，即「捂臉」。捂臉這種動作在很多文化中都很常見，連大猩猩也會呢！
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。
這個動作多用來表達沮喪或者尷尬，不過，在對話語境中，也可以用來表達厭惡或失望的情緒。在常識、判斷或者邏輯短暫缺失的情況下，我們通常會做出捂臉的動作。同時，這個動作也可以指向他人，即，用無聲的方式表達「我真不敢相信你說了那樣的話/做了那樣的事，」或者用來自嘲，讓別人明白，你知道自己做了傻事或者說了傻話。
Facepalm first appeared about five years ago, and has steadilygained ground as a popular term in Internet culture。
捂臉一詞大約出現在五年前，現在已經成為網絡文化流行詞。
