七月紫梦
英语委婉语的例子经典如下：
1、the government of parents is the reign of affection, and of the children the submission to love.幸福的家庭，父母靠慈爱当家，孩子也是出于对父母的爱而顺从大人。
2、I love you not because of who you are, but because of who I am when I am with you.我爱你，不是因为你是一个怎样的人，而是因为我喜欢与你在一起时的感觉。
3、mean they dont love you with all they have.爱你的人如果没有按你所希望的方式来爱你，那并不代表他们没有全心全意地爱你。
4、Dont try so hard, the best things come when you least expect them to.不要着急，最好的总会在最不经意的时候出现。

英语委婉语内容如下：
除了死亡之外，年老和疾病也是人们忌讳的话题。人们会委婉地称老年人为 senior citizens/the elderly/elderly people，如果某人罹患癌症可以委婉地说：He or She is terminally ill. 而不说：He or She has cancer.
委婉语的另外一个重要功能是体现礼貌和尊敬。比如英语中有不少关于容貌和身材的委婉语。形容一个人“胖”不说fat，而是说plump；形容一个人“瘦”也不说thin，而是说slim/slender；如果要形容一个人长得丑，人们也会尽量避免使用ugly，而是用plain/homely，比如：Mrs Cookson was a rather plain woman. 或者干脆说：Mrs Cookson was not particularly good-looking.
对于一些比较底层的职业，人们有时候也会仿造一些高级职业的说法来称呼它们，以此来提升这些职业的“档次”。比如将hairdresser 称为beautician，将plumber称为heating engineer，将mechanic称为automobile engineer。
葬礼是一个庄严的场合，悼词中出现prostitutes不合适，所以小布什用ladies of the night这一委婉语来代替。小布什在父亲葬礼上的悼词中有这样一句话：
He was a tolerant man. After all, he was kind and neighborly to the women with whom he, mom and I shared a bathroom in our small duplex – even after he learned their profession – ladies of the night.
