Euphemism is not only a linguistic phenomenon but also a cultural phenomenon. At home and abroad, euphemism is mainly studied by scholars from the aspects of sociolinguistics, rhetorics, semantics, etc. However，there are fewer studies on the comparative analyses of euphemisms of different cultural backgrounds. Based on the previous studies, this paper makes a comparative study of cultural connotations in English and Chinese euphemisms. It aims to find out the similarities and differences between them. Consequently, it aims to reduce the misuse of euphemisms, to deepen the understanding of differences of cross-cultural communication and to accomplish the good communicative goals in English and Chinese.
