近期不少朋友抱怨自己遇见非常尴尬的处境，比如：吃饭没带钱，老板在训人自己没忍住偷笑，或者是把小抄传到监考员手中。真的大麻烦，好尴尬啊！今天就教教大伙除去awkward 以外还可以用那些办法来表达尴尬。
1.be in a devil of a hole

devil hole 直译就是“魔鬼洞”，形容自己处境举步维艰尴尬，就像是深入魔鬼的洞穴，英大想想都感觉可怕
e.g. Joe is in a devil of a hole.

e.g. It put me in a devil hole of having to lie.
这令我陷入了不能不撒谎的尴尬境地。
2.a trying situation
难处境况，尴尬处境
“trying situation”除去可以形容严峻困窘意料之外，还有“不要意思的局面”，“让人伤脑筋的局面”
e.g. That is a trying situation.
那是一个不好意思的局面。
e.g. It was a trying situation.
这是一个叫人伤脑筋的局面。
e.g.The public finance of China is now in a trying situation.
国内财政正处于严峻的困窘境地。
3.“hot”也可以用来表示你的尴尬
①make it hot for him
使之对他有害的，叫你不好过。
e.g. The police say they'll make it really hot for Barry if they catch him a second time driving his car without tax.
警方说，假如他们第二次抓住马里没交纳牌照税，他们将会让他不好过的。
②in the hot seat

e.g.On the business front, IT executives are frequently in the hot seat when it comes to justifying their budgets.

P.S. “hot seat”也有身负重任，挑大梁的意思。

e.g.You make the decisions - you're in the hot seat now!
你得做决定，这目前是你的责任了。
③in hot water
在热水里？它的意思并非“在热水中”，它的确切意思是指某人或某些人遇见很麻烦的问题了，表现得尴尬焦躁不安。
e.g.He was found cheating on the exam, and now he's in hot water.

e.g. I'm sorry I can't lend you money. I myself am in hot water.
抱歉，没钱借给你了，我目前也是麻烦缠身呢。

A facepalm is the physical gesture of placing one's hand flat across one's face or lowering one's face into one's hand or hands.

这个动作多用来表达沮丧或者尴尬，或者是“你如何这么傻愣”，“你开心就好”与“天下我只服你一人”等状况。
5.awkward
adj. 尴尬的；笨拙的；棘手的；不适合的
对于常看英美剧的孩子们来讲，这个词肯定很熟悉。

（英大朋友：就怕空气忽然安静了。就是这个意思了。）
e.g. The president laughed off the awkward situation.
