unit3-part4 call me by my right name

Part 4 Call Me by M y Right Name My nephew refers to himself as a “sanit ary engineer”-a euphemism for garbage collector. There are any nur nber of people who try to find more respectable or glamorous titles for t he mundane jobs they hold. It may seem incongruous to call an underta ker a “condolence counselor,” or to refer to a taxi driver as a transp ortation expediter," but some prefer those titles. As a matter of fact, our butcher has stipulated that from now on he wants to be known as “meat coordinator." He be- came irate when I inadvertently callee dhim“Butch.” 不要错 用称呼 我的外甥称自己为卫生工程师 清洁工的雅称。有许多人想为他们所 从事的平凡工作找到比较体面或比较女子听的称呼。如果把一名殡葬工叫做“吊唁顾问”,或者把出租汽车司机称为“快速运输员”，这或许不合适。但有人喜欢这类称呼。实际上，我们的屠夫已坚决要求别人以后称他为“肉类协调员”。如果我不小心叫他屠夫,他就会发火。
