曾前有个国王,梦见有人拔掉了他所有的牙齿。醒后,让丞相为他解梦。丞相直言不讳:“这个梦预示着陛下的全家将比陛下先死。”国王听了勃然大怒,立即下令将丞相押入大牢。国王又叫阿凡提为他解梦,阿凡提说:“陛下所做的梦预示着陛下将比你所有的家人都长寿!”。国王听了非常高兴,重赏了阿凡提。其实两个人所说的语意是相同的,但表达的方式却截然不同。我们从中可以领略到语言委婉的魅力!。 There used to be a king who dreamed that someone had pulled out all his teeth. Awake, let the prime minister dream for him. The Prime Minister outspoken: “This dream indicates that His Majesty’s family will die than His Majesty. ” King heard a rage, immediately ordered the prime minister into prison. The king, also called Avanti, decides to dream for him. Avanti said: “The dream your majesty has made indicates that His Majesty will live longer than all your family!” King was very pleased to hear, rewarded Avanti. In fact, the semantic meaning of the two people are the same, but the way of expression is very different. We can enjoy the euphemism of language from it.
