I remember in a 1 meeting at my primary school, the teacher told my mother with a smile, “She’s doing fine. There’s still room for improvement 2 .” At first, I was really pleased. But the more I thought about the teacher’s words, the more I 3 that “fine” wasn’t actually very positive at all. What she really wanted to say was that I needed to work harder. This became my first lesson in understanding the true meanings behind words. And I became quite good at understanding euphemisms (委婉语) later as I found them a part of my family’s 4 . When my father stopped going to the office at the age of 40, my mother told everyone that he 5 at home and making some time for the family. I didn’t understand it at first, because we saw him even 6 for he stayed in his room all day. It took me a while to understand that my father had actually lost his job. After this, I began to notice that my mother used other euphemisms more often at home. I notice these euphemisms in school, too. Every time I chat with a friend who I 7 out of touch with for a long time, we would say, “We must have dinner together one day soon.” But unsurprisingly, “one day soon” never happens. Those words are just a way of showing 8 . I found languages 9 : they have different parts, the meanings of words and the meanings behind the words.
