RT 1. Reflects the different religious beliefs Sociolinguistics studies have shown that speech has both religious taboos, but also has a class character. However, the English and Chinese in this area has demonstrated its own characteristics. Although the majority of English euphemism originated in religious superstition, but compared to Western nations, the Chinese do not have a common, unified religion. "Death" is the word, for example, believe in different religions have different euphemism, Westerners are mostly Christian, Christianity holds that life is God-given, and people in their lifetime is bound to go through sin, degradation and redemption, and only redeem Qing Dynasty's original sin can be saved in the afterlife, to heaven, or they will languish in hell forever.

As the Han nationality there is no uniform religion, Buddhism, Taoism, Islam has its own following of believers, there is no religious taboo on the whole national language have a greater impact. In Chinese "death" a euphemism came from Taoism and Buddhism.

Sakyamuni Buddha lived in the Western Paradise, the believers of Buddhism alive those who do good Jide, looking forward to the death to reach the Western Paradise, so in Chinese has also been "on the Western Paradise", "Gui Xi", "Heaven" and other euphemisms for death. 2.

This is the difference in Western culture, Anglo-American culture, there is no significant hierarchy, whether high or low status could address him by name. But for God's name, the devil's name needs to taboo, people's minds in the deep-rooted sense of hierarchy in those of certain occupations by the generation-wan said in evident. 3.
