Abstract
Euphemism is both a linguistic phenomenon and a social and cultural phenomenon. Since its inception, euphemisms have played a lubricating role in people's communication. Both English and Chinese languages have a large number of euphemisms. This article only explores the differences in marriage and childbirth euphemisms between English and Chinese from two perspectives: social values and ethnic cultural characteristics.
