The British and Americans and the Chinese differ and share in taboo because they differ and share in culture and psychology. And the case is the same with them in euphemism. On the whole, English euphemism and Chinese euphemism share more than they differ. Beside, belonging to different language systems, English and Chinese have differences in linguistic structures, which lead to their differences in euphemism formation: each has its peculiarities. On the other hand, English and Chinese are somewhat similar in linguistic structure, and have something in common in culture and psychology, so their euphemisms have similarities in means of formation. Different as they are in other ways, English euphemism and Chinese euphemism are the same in principles of formation. All types of euphemism are created in accordance with three principles: the distance principle, the relation principle and the pleasantness principle. It can be seen from the comparison of the euphemism of English and Chinese that both the Chinese nation and the western nations have their own euphemisms. Some of them have similarities in the aspects that the human beings share in, such as death, disease, etc; on the other hand, their usages take on comparatively great differences in other aspects owing to the cultural, historical and traditional differences of different nations. This essay, by studying the euphemism in view of contrastive linguistic of English and Chinese , tries to show the identity of human being language and the difference of national language in addition to showing the pragmatic difference of English and Chinese. From communicative angle, euphemism shows indirect speech action and has strong communicative function. Euphemisms as a本论文由英语论文网提供整理，提供论文代写，英语论文代写，代写论文，代写英语论文，代写留学生论文，代写英文论文，留学生论文代写相关核心关键词搜索。
