问题 "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。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。
