8、日XXXX大学本科生毕业论文（设计）文献综述Literature ReviewNowadays euphemism has gained much attention by the society, and it is spread in everyday life. Euphemism makes the relationship and conversation of people much smooth and pleasing. But different culture has different ways of using euphemism, thus the translati

9、on of euphemism has become an important topic to discuss.The thesis mainly illustrates the rules of using of euphemism, the typical problems in translating euphemism, the significance of euphemism translation, and the prospects of this aspect, especially takes examples from Chinese-English translati

10、on or English-Chinese translation.Euphemism means using some mild and indirect words or phrases, to replace those direct or harsh ones, or those have displeasing meaning to some people, so as to make the expression more tactful, gentler, and more acceptable. Those words or phrases which are used to

11、replace the tough ones are named as Euphemism. The usage of euphemism is a coexist phenomenon in the global languages. Generally, euphemism is not only used in conversations about vocation, politics, wars, life, diseases, aging, death, criminals, etc, but also used to replace the words which are dif

12、ficult to say. Due to cultural differences, the translation of euphemism is rather complicated. Euphemism is not only a lingual phenomenon, but also a cultural phenomenon. Different euphemisms stand for different cultural ground. Thus the purpose of translation is to build a bridge between people wi

13、th different languages and cultural background, for a kind of cross-linguistic and cross-cultural communication activity. As a result, the key point of euphemism translation is to faithfully convey the cultural connotation it bears to the readers or listeners.Due to the different cultural background

14、s and other factors, the translation of euphemism is full of difficulties. Maybe there is a phrase in source language, but theres no corresponding expression in target language. Maybe the taboo of different cultures prevents the translators to work well. These are all probable difficulties. In addit

15、ion, different emotions, ages, gender, degree of education, etc, also have a great impact on the translation of euphemism.Euphemism is a way to smooth communication of people, but when using it, certain rules are to be obeyed. A proper usage of euphemism can make the conversation relaxed and joyful,

16、 however misapplication will bring not only embarrassment, but also misunderstood, or even conflicts.Euphemism was developed in the hope of becoming more successful in the social communication with other people, that is, use some pleasant expressions to entrain somebody else instead of saying them i

17、n direct ways. The translation of euphemism is not easy to tackle with, but there are some rules to follow. Translators should follow those principles and improve their understanding of the differences. Then use the right method in different situations, decoding the exact explicit meaning of the sou

18、rce euphemism to readers, so as to eliminate the obstacles between different languages. This paper discusses the introduction of euphemism, the translation of euphemism, the typical problems in translation, and the methods of translating. The translation of euphemism is of great significance. And th

19、e functions are as following. It gives the language learners a better understanding of the culture of the source language. It improves the cross-cultural communication among people. It enriches the culture of the target language.However, every coin has two sides, and so is euphemism. When used prope

20、rly, it is a good way to coordinate relationship of people, and makes the conversation ease and successful. However, if it is used improperly, euphemism will mislead the listener, and cover up the truth.Recent years, as the increasing usage of euphemism, there are a growing number of researchers and

21、 scholars devoting their time, their hearts or even their life in research of euphemism. In his book Aspects of Language, a linguistician Dwight Bolinger discussed the compositive grammatical devices for euphemism, such as voice, tone, tense. Another linguistician, Mencken, H.L, listed hundreds of r

22、easons for the formation and popularity of English euphemism. Though all kinds of researches at home and abroad have been published, there are not so many theses about the translation of euphemism, and problems still remain.The main achievements in the translation of euphemism are some principles. E

23、ven though those principles are not only used in the translation of euphemism. First is the trinity principle of translation of Yan Fu. That is, faithfulness, expressiveness and elegance. Faithfulness means convey the words of author or speaker faithfully without changing or distorting his meaning a

24、nd emotion, neither add nor delete the authors meaning. Expressiveness refers to proper translation while not stick to the original form stubbornly, and smooth translation which is easy to understand. Elegance refers to appropriation words in the translation, which should be elegant, succinct, befit

25、ting the position of speaker, the occasion, the emotion, and cultural background. Second is Nidas dynamic equivalent principle. There are four equivalent forms: they are word equivalence, syntax equivalence, discourse equivalence, and literary form equivalence. Of which, Nida attaches more importanc

26、e on meaning than form. According to this principle, the relationship of the target language and its receiver should be basically the same as the relationship of the source language and its receiver. It regards the objective response of readers as the measurement of the translation.The third one is,

27、 Purpose-oriented Translation PrincipleTranslating for the Purpose of Appreciation or Application. This principle requires translator be aware of the purpose of appreciation or application. That is, purpose is the first thing to be concerned when doing translation. Personally speaking, I prefer the

28、last one, for the translation is used to communicate with others, and the purpose of the conversation should be achieved for a good translation.More research should be conducted about the translation of euphemism. Although the present study attempts to cover a wide range of the translation informati

29、on, it is still limited in terms of depth of research. All these limitations above may serve as the motivations for further researches. Therefore in learning and using language, people should focus their attention on the acquisition of cultural knowledge, so as to have better communication. Learning

30、 how to use euphemisms on different occasions and to understand the differences of different cultures also has a profound and realistic effect on effective cross-cultural communication.本科生毕业论文设计题目 论日常交际中委婉语的翻译 作者姓名 XXX 指导教师 XX 所在学院 XXX学院 专业（系） 机器翻译 班级（届） XXXX届机译班 完成日期 2XXX 年 05 月 08日The Translation
