Abstract

With the economic globalization, communications between persons, enterprises and countries become more and more frequent. As a cultural phenomenon and an important rhetorical device, euphemism is a reflection of social mentality in language, and has been widely used in various fields all over the world. Euphemism is a common linguistic means of creating harmonious atmosphere to ensure smooth linguistic communication, and education relates to talent cultivation, in particular to cross-culture communication talents. Hence, discussing the usage of euphemism in English language teaching is of great practical significance.
