A euphemism (from the Greek words eu—well and pheme—speak) is a word or expression that is used when people want to find a polite or less direct way of talking about difficult or embarrassing topics like death or the bodily functions.Most people,for example,would find it very difficult to say in plain language that they have arranged for their sick old dog to be killed.They would soften the pain by saying:We had Ruby put down or We had Ruby put to sleep.Many people prefer to call someone plain than ugly,or cuddly rather than fat.

Euphemisms are an important part of every language,but it seems that English has an ever?growing number of them.The non?native speaker not only has to make sense of the euphemisms he hears,he also has to learn which euphemisms are appropriate in any particular situation.He might be aware that his American friend needs to use the toilet when she asks where the bathroom (or restroom,or comfort station) is,but he is less likely to guess that his English friend has the same need when he says he has to see a man about a dog.He might have learned,for example,that in the family way is a euphemism for pregnant.If,however,he says to his boss,“Congratulations!I hear your wife is in the family way,” he would be using an expression that is too familiar for the circumstances.

Schools are full of euphemisms.At Frankfurt International School,for example,the special lessons given to students who are having difficulties in their school subjects are called Study Center (in the middle school) and Academic Workshop (in the high school).Teachers rightly do not want to upset students or parents by being too frank or straightforward,and usually choose a softer word or expression to convey the same message.

Since we are social beings,the quality of our lives depends in large measure on our interpersonal relationships.One strength of the human conditions is our possibility to give and receive support from one another under stressful (有压力的) conditions.Social support consists of the exchange of resources among people based on their interpersonal ties.Those of us with strong support systems appear better able to deal with major life changes and daily problems.People with strong social ties live longer and have better health than those without such ties.Studies over types of illnesses,from depression to heart disease,show that the presence of social support helps people defend themselves against illness,and the absence of such support makes poor health more likely.

Social support cushions stress in a number of ways.First,friends,relatives and co?workers may let us know that they value us.Our self?respect is strengthened when we feel accepted by others in spite of our faults and difficulties.Second,other people often provide us with informational support.They help us to define and understand our problems and find solutions to them.Third,we typically find social companionship supportive.Taking part in free?time activities with others helps us to meet our social needs while at the same time distracting (转移注意力) us from our worries and troubles.Finally,other people may give us instrumental support—money aid,material resources,and needed services—that reduces stress by helping us resolve and deal with our problems.
