In this paper, I argue that we face a challenge in understanding the relationship between the ‘value-oriented’ and ‘other-oriented’ dimensions of shame. On the one hand, an emphasis on shame's value-oriented dimension leads naturally to ‘The Self-Evaluation View’, an account which faces a challenge in explaining shame's other-oriented dimension. This is liable to push us towards ‘The Social Evaluation View’. However The Social Evaluation View faces the opposite challenge of convincingly accommodating shame's ‘value-oriented’ dimension. After rejecting one attempt to chart a middle course between these extremes, I argue that progress can be made if we reject the widespread assumption that the other-oriented dimension of shame is best understood primarily terms of our concern with the way we appear to others. Instead, I outline an account which treats shame as manifesting our desire primarily for interpersonal connection and which elucidates the property of shamefulness in terms of merited avoidance (or rejection).

在本文中，我认为我们在理解羞耻的“价值导向”和“其他导向”维度之间的关系方面面临挑战。一方面，对羞耻的价值取向维度的强调自然会导致“自我评价观点”，这是一个在解释羞耻的他者取向维度方面面临挑战的说明。这很可能将我们推向“社会评价观”。然而，社会评价观点面临着相反的挑战，即令人信服地适应羞耻的“价值导向”维度。在拒绝了在这些极端之间绘制中间路线的尝试之后，我认为，如果我们拒绝普遍认为羞耻的他者导向维度主要是我们对我们在他人面前的表现方式的关注，那么我们就可以取得进展。反而，
