"Underprivileged people" is often used by the mass media as a substitute for "poor people". Linguistimlly, the former is referred to as a(n) ______.
选项
A、linguistic taboo
B、slangy expression
C、high-sounding expression
D、euphemism
答案
D
解析
不直接用“穷人”,而用“需要帮助的人”代指穷人,是委婉的说法,英文为euphemism。而taboo是禁忌语,不能说的话;slangy expression是俚语,非常不正式的词,而underprivileged是个正式用法;high- sounding expression是高调词。因而本题答案是D。
