你是说"shame"并不是男方在诋毁女方害怕孤独吗？只是表达遗憾，无能为力？

Right. According to dictionary.com, it means "an unfortunate development". Very commonly used this way. Especially by the British, I believe.

另外 she is 多半 means "真的吗?"

原来如此!, 我以为是说"对,她是这样" . 看来不能只凭字面意思来理解,要意译.谢谢

如果说she is?才是你说的意思。she is还是说他了解她是这样的。

"She is" unlikely means agreement. More likely "Really", "Is that true", "I see", etc. Very normal in everyday conversation.

老外 like to repeat the other side to show they're listening. Just a habit. It doesn't mean agreement or disagreement. For agreement, they might say: "I agree", "You're right", "Yes, she is", etc.

是中国人说的吗?如果是, 不必多虑, 我觉得这英文有问题, 当然也许是我的英文理解有问题

2个女方是中国人,男方是native, 男方认为和女方A有culture difference和信仰的difference 提出和女方A分手，女方B想了解男方分手的真正意图，所以在网上聊一聊。

就是很遗憾，很惋惜，不应该发生。 没有太强烈的感情色彩。

Shame有比遗憾更进一步的意思, 男方的意思大概是有一点内疚的遗憾, 看看这里"

Nothing more at all. Very commonly used. Very neutral.

唉，和老外交男女朋友连这句话也听不懂的话也难怪别人要分手。that's a shame用的很广泛。我可以说我的球队输球了，我喜欢的球星受伤了，多伦多有很多枪杀案，都能用这个话。

My guess - the complete sentence is "She is afraid of being lonely, that is a shame on her”. meaning she shouldn’t be afraid of loneliness. Negative comment.

我觉得不是说她不应该怕孤独, 而是说她居然孤独, 很可耻, 不是赞语, 就象说某人是LOSER差不多的意思

To understand English better, it's a good idea to read novels. You'll probably come across similar sentences in the first one you read. It's a shame that lots of people give advice on rolia even though they're clearly not qualified. Beyond me.

什么叫” she is afraid of lonely”呀, 这句我都没看懂, 别说后一句了. 孤独是可耻的, 我想男方的意思是这个吧
