意思：to be embarrassed，感到窘迫、后悔、恥辱.
愛美的女孩子大概都知道雞蛋可以用來做美容面膜，但被人扔一個雞蛋在臉上可就不妙了，你可以想像那會是個多么令人尷尬和難堪的場面，至此，我想你也就不難明白have egg on your face 這個習慣用語是什么意思了。
我們來看看這個用法的詞源：Not sure of the origin, but it may come from when clowns are at a circus and they have eggs thrown at them because of their goofy acts or when actors had eggs thrown at them performing in plays a couple of centuries ago.
馬戲團的小丑們或演員們曾經因為一些垃圾的表演被觀眾扔雞蛋，have egg on your face 可能就是從這引申過來的。這一幕和咱們古裝劇里狗官被砍頭時，街坊鄰居們的表現如此的相似(⊙o⊙)…
Example:
I made a deal with Jack and ended up with egg on my face.
我和杰克做個交易,結果卻害得我出了洋相。
Jim really had egg on his face after he lost the bicycle race to a 10 year old girl.
Jim 在比賽中輸給了一個10歲的女孩，他感到很沒面子。
好的，小伙伴們，一起來動腦啦：
—Mum, why do you always make me eat an egg every day?
—______ enough protein and nutrition as you are growing up. (上海1999)
A. Get B. Getting C. To get D. To be getting
