Abstract: This paper selects 50 articles of Chinese and foreign euphemism research in recent years and sums up five core research perspectives. It is found that the euphemism research in English and Chinese mainly focuses on three aspects: theoretical research, linguistics and intercultural communication, with few researches related to translation and teaching. Most scholars carry out static analysis using summarizing all kinds of euphemisms in English and Chinese as the approach, lacking in specific materials or empirical research and analysis.

Key words: English and Chinese Euphemism, Linguistics Studies, Translation Teaching, Cross-culture Communication
