"Underprivileged people" is often used by the mass media as a substitute for "poor people". Linguistically, 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,故D正确。而taboo是禁忌语,不能说的话;slangy expression是俚语,非常不正式的词;high—sounding expression是高调词。
