从委婉语的分析入手,认为汉英两种语境中委婉语存在相通之处,但也存有很大的差异,其深层次的原因在于作为文化负载词的委婉语所包含的丰富的文化内涵。作者对汉英委婉语及其文化背景做了较详细的分析、对比,旨在进一步论证英语教学中培养学生文化意识的迫切性和重要性,以期更好地发挥语言的交际功能。 Starting from the analysis of euphemism, it is believed that there are similarities between euphemisms in Chinese and English contexts, but there are also great differences. The deeper reason lies in the rich culture contained in euphemisms as culturally loaded words Connotation. The author analyzes and contrasts the Chinese and English euphemisms and their cultural backgrounds in detail, and aims to further demonstrate the urgency and importance of cultivating students’ cultural awareness in English teaching in order to give full play to the communicative function of language.
