求翻译:In the west, the biggest taboos in names are names of gods and ghosts. “God” is often replaced by “golly” and “gosh”; “for Christ’s sake” is also substituted by “for goodness sake” or “for crying out loud” and “devil” is replaced by “Old Nick” and “His Sable Majesty”. When discussing taboo words, American linguist Bloomfield said that the various religious expressions in English, such as “God, devil, heaven, hell, Christ, Jesus, damn and other words” alike could only be mentioned in serious speech. The violation of this provision will be blamed by people (Bloomfield, 1933: 155), so people try to avoid using such terms in their daily life.是什么意思? 待解决
