1 Introduction
1.1 Definition and Classification of Euphemism
Euphemisms have existed throughout recorded history. In early English poetry the heroes did not literally "die", but euphemistically "lay" or "fall"(George H.McKnight, 1923:268). Similar feature of language is familiar in modern language: " we will have to let you go" replaces"you're fired" in English;"人寿保险"(life insurance) replaces "死亡保险"（insurance that is paid when you die) in Chinese. These are typical example of verbal euphemisms, namely, euphemisms in a narrow sense.
Classification of euphemism is well manifested in the various definitions of euphemism, which reveal the nature, and the characteristics of euphemism from different perspectives.
