最后请看几个委婉类例:
Nowadays many weight-watchers would like to go to the gym. 如今有不少胖人喜欢到健身房去锻炼.
That luster has taken a fancy to Middle Eastern dancing. 那个好色之徒现在开始喜欢肚皮舞.
They are the culturally deprived. 他们是没有学识的人.
A libray of teaching materials for preventing teenage suicides will open for educators in Hong Kong this year. 今年香港将为教师开设一家图书馆以提供防止青少年^自傻的教学资料.
值得注意的是,委婉语虽然是”古已有之,于今为烈”,但决不能用得过多过滥.使用时要考虑场合和对象,如用得不得体,反而会使你”欲礼而不达”,甚至令人不知所云,一头雾水.
