摘要
正确使用委婉语体现出说话者的表达艺术和交际策略。文章聚焦英汉表"病残"义委婉语,认为二者有同有异。"同"在于:1)具有掩饰、抚慰和保护三大语用功能;2)部分构造机制相同,如:"模糊表述代替明确所指"、"词形简缩"、"利用相似性"、"利用相关性"。"异"在于独特的构造机制,如英语的"以国家名称为标记提示病症"、"直接使用外来词";汉语的"正话反说"、"体现等级制度"。挖掘特异构造机制的形成理据,需在民族历史背景与文化传统中寻找渊源。
The correct use of euphemism reflects the speaker＇s expression of art and communication skills. The article focuses on English and Chinese euphemisms which denote the meaning of＂Diseases and Disabilities＂,considering that commonalities points and differences are coexisting in both languages. The similarities lie in： 1） there are three major pragmatic functions：dissimulation,consolation and protection; 2） some of the constructive mechanisms are identical,such as ＂replacing the explicit meaning with vague statement＂,＂simplifying word morpheme＂,＂using similarity＂and＂using correlation＂. Differences rest on the unique constructive mechanisms. ＂The use of a country＇s names as remarks to remind the illness＂and＂direct use of foreign words＂are the unique features of English euphemism,while＂expressing in a contrary way＂and＂reflecting the hierarchy＂are the characteristics of Chinese. In order to explore the formation of specific structural mechanisms,it is necessary to trace the origins of national historical background and cultural traditions.
