the language areas, language is a social phenomenon. The contradictions in daily life by the hard-edged or misnomer caused. Social needs subtle beauty. In the communication process, in order to express politeness, avoid stimulating or get together, we always use the euphemism. Euphemism used properly communicative activities in the community can play a multiplier role. Either English or Chinese, Euphemism is consistent with the communicative function, there are taboo, to avoid customs, manners, cover, and appraise and other functions. These features are embodied in the communication strategy and the effect of an acceptable, identity and appropriateness and so on. Here the social function of euphemism to make a brief introduction:

3.1 Beneficial Effect
There are three ways in using euphemism: First, avoid stimulating and give comfort. Second, remove vulgar and give elegant. Third, discard the old, gives a novel. Communication in many occasions, euphemisms can talk in person or talked to the audience to avoid embarrassment, feelings of embarrassment or hurt each other, so communication and harmonious relations between the parties, communication smoothly. This result reflects the euphemism in the beneficial effect of social communication.
3.1.1 Avoidance Function
The emergence of euphemisms has a close relation with the language taboos. Taboos exist in almost all cultures. Their appearance more or lesser flecks the common psychology of human beings: theawe and veneration to the gods, ghosts and monsters; the avoidance of the unpropitious things.

These might be grouped under several categories, such as disease, certain functions of the body, etc. Euphemisms here can abate the terror and unpleasantness these notions provoke though they are but inevitable and natural. For example, cancer is called
