You really pulled words straight from a dictionary, didn't you :-Þ

Well, I think your grammer is a little off, but because you used a lot of dictionary words which I don't know how to properly use, I don't think I can help you with that. Also, can you say in romaji what's after "suru be" and before "de aru koto"? I'm getting boxes instead of kanji^_^;;

The one thing I can tell you for sure though, 1時 (ichi zi) will never be used to say "one time" because it's "one o'clock". That's part of the problem of pulling stuff straight from a dictionary... You were looking for "a single moment" and though I don't know exactly how to say it, I looked up something that seems closer to what you're looking for: 一刻 which should mean "one moment".

Let's see... if I were to write the sentence that you wanted to, I think I would say something more like:

一刻を頼んでEMBARASSMENTのCOSTはないけど頼まないと一生� �のEMBARASSMENTになります。

ikkoku o tanonde EMBARASSMENT no COST wa nai kedo tanomanai to isshoujuu no EMBARASSMENT ni narimasu.

The words in caps are obviously in english and you should replace them with the roughly equivalent Japanese word of choice^_^; Translating what I wrote *back* into English... "Ask for one moment and there is no cost of embarassment, but if you don't ask, it becomes a lifetime of embarassment". Does that help?

Oh, and the other thing looks okay, but out of context at least, I would use "ga" instead of "wa" but that's just me.

I see "?" too, but that's because the computer I'm currently using isn't mine, and this computer isn't equipped to read foreign text. Maybe the same applies to you.

Of course this is driving me crazy, since I was curious what the sentence said, but this computer can't seem to show Japanese text.

i'm getting a couple of "?" as well and my system language is Japanese.. haha. mostly it shows up correctly. very odd encoding.

it is never a good idea to rely purely on a dictionary english to japanese look up. you need to know how the words are used. if your dictionary doesn't give same sentences of it's use and some explanation then i suggest you get a new dictionary because that one is useless.

要求 should not be used in this sentence, this means demand, serious request. it has a serious meaning to it.

費用 is used for money things, is this what you are wanting to say? if doesn't cost $$

生命当惑 - is not one word but two, so you should have some sort of particle in here i would think... but then i wouldn't use any of these words.
生命 - life, existence. is this the meaning you want? I believe 一生 is the best word for this sentence.
当惑 - perplexity, embarrassment, confusion, bewilderment (i'm not sure you want this meaning)　you could use the noune 恥 - shame, embarrassment or the advective 恥ずかしい or the verb 恥じらう

to be honest i don't believe your english grammar is correct either.

as the proverb,
聞くは一時の恥、聞かぬは一生の恥
kiku ha ittoki no haji, kikanu ha isshou no haji.

now that is the best way... although it is not exactly as the person was saying in english. but i think that is what they probably wanted.

for those interested ぬ is an archaic negative like ない and applies only to verbs and is commonly found in proverbs.

i really need to learn some Japanese proverbs.
