Word:euphemism

The Japan Times, whose motto is ‘all the news without fear or favour’， said it would alter its description of the comfort women—a euphemism for tens of thousands of girls and women, mainly from the Korean peninsula, who were forced to work in Japanese military brothels before and during the war.

《日本时报》的宣传标语是“新闻无所畏惧、亦无偏袒”；该报表示，它将修改对“慰安妇”的描述。慰安妇是一种委婉说法，指在二战前和二战期间被迫在日本军队的妓院里工作的成千上万的女性，她们主要来自朝鲜半岛。
