班 述了语言禁忌的类型，接着提出语言禁忌的语用特征，是一种普遍存在的社会现象。在汉英两种语言中，有些忌讳是一致的。文中分析了中英语言禁忌在语音层面、词汇方面的相似性。但是由于汉英民族文化背景、意识形态、价值观念等的不同，中英语言禁忌的内容和形式也有一些差异，因此本论文还探讨了中英语言禁忌在私人话题、数字和命名称谓方面的互异性。这些异同和开展演进往往会给跨文化交际带来一些障碍，为此，有效防止使用禁忌语的方法主要是使用委婉语代替禁忌词，并充分了解异国的文化背景。希望本论文的研究能帮助英语学****者加深英汉两种语言和文化的理解，提高跨文化交际能力，防止交际失败，到达理想的交际效果。

At last, this paper puts forward two effective ways of avoiding taboo, that is, using euphemism and having a good knowledge of the taboo culture. And this discussion would help English learners improve their ability of cross-cultural communication and achieve bet
