A euphemism is a word or expression that is used when people want to find a polite or less direct way of talking about difficult or embarrassing topics like death or the bodily functions. Most people ， for example ， would find it very difficult to say in plain language that they have arranged for their sick old dogs to be killed. They would soften the pain by saying: we had Ruby put down or we had Ruby put to sleep. Many people prefer to call someone plain than ugly, or cuddly rather than fat.

Euphemism is an important part of every language, but it seems that English has an ever-growing number of them. The non-native speaker not only has to make sense of the euphemisms he hears, but also he has to learn which euphemisms are appropriate in any particu?lar situations. He might be aware that his American friend needs to use the toilet when she asks where the bathroom (or restroom, or comfort station) is， but he is less likely to guess that his English friend has the same need when he says he has to see a man about a dog. He might have learned, for example, that in the family way-is a euphemism for pregnant. If, however, he says to his boss, "Congratulations！ I hear your wife is in the family way," he would be using an expression that is too familiar for the circumstances.

Schools are full of euphemisms. At Frankfurt In?ternational School, for example, the special lessons giv?en to students who are having difficulties in their school subjects are called Study Centre (in the middle school) and Academic Workshop (in the high school). Teachers rightly do not want to upset students or parents by being too frank or straightforward, and usually choose a softer word or expression to convey the same message.

科目：高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源： 題型：

Elizabeth Freeman was born about 1742 to African American parents who were slaves.  At the age of six months she was acquired, along with her sister, by John Ashley, a wealthy Massachusetts slaveholder. She became known as "Mumbet" or "Mum Bett".

For nearly 30 years Mumbet served the Ashley family. One day, Ashley's wife tried to strike Mumbet's sister with a spade. Mumbet protected her sister and took the blow instead. Furious, she left the house and refused to come back. When the Ashleys tried to make her return， Mumbet consulted a lawyer, Theodore Sedgewick. With his help, Mumbet sued (起訴)for her freedom.

While serving the Ashleys, Mumbet had listened to many discussions of the new Massachusetts constitu?tion. If the constitution said that all people were free and equal, then she thought it should apply to her. Eventually, Mumbet won her freedom―the first slave in Massachusetts to do so under the new constitution.

Strangely enough ， after the trial ， the Ashleys asked Mumbet to come back and work for them as a paid employee. She declined and instead went to work for Sedgewick. Mumbet died in 1829, but her legacy lived on in her many descendants (后裔).One of her great?grandchildren was W. E. B. Du Bois, one of the found?ers of the NAACP, and an important writer and spokes?person for African American civil rights.

Mumbet's tombstone still stands in the Massachu?setts cemetery where she was buried. It reads, in part： "She was born a slave and remained a slave for nearly thirty years. She could neither read nor write, yet in her own sphere she had no superior or equal."

3.    What did Mumbet learn from discussions about the new constitution?

A.    She should always obey her owners' orders.

B.    She should be as free and equal as whites.

C.    How to be a good servant.
