English language

Have you ever wondered why foreigners have trouble with the English Language?
) e; V- d. E: K+ H( y: x
/ k) z" |' C6 O9 x' FLet's face it
English is a stupid language.
There is no egg in the eggplant
" h4 P/ k( W  O/ b1 \& w( HNo ham in the hamburger
1 Q4 W6 _/ q- _4 j" KAnd neither pine nor apple in the pineapple.
. c- c; ~, W3 ]9 P% W% n6 X. {English muffins were not invented in England
8 u  P9 I" s- v' T  LFrench fries were not invented in France.
& c% ^7 j1 F- `0 m% O) ~4 t- f
We sometimes take English for granted
But if we examine its paradoxes we find that
0 M- R( Z) x& H2 X* PQuicksand takes you down slowly
' N3 {% M1 I# `! U/ D# d+ U+ _2 ABoxing rings are square
And a guinea pig is neither from Guinea nor is it a pig.
2 z7 f# e- G& I0 P
- P- V' C- I* t7 K8 aIf writers write, how come fingers don't fing.
If the plural of tooth is teeth
$ |. z: H5 f# f* r5 `Shouldn't the plural of phone booth be phone beeth
If the teacher taught,
2 u2 Q0 y) q5 t5 xWhy didn't the preacher praught.

If a vegetarian eats vegetables
3 ~; k; G8 y9 L# e9 h% oWhat the heck does a humanitarian eat!?
Why do people recite at a play
Yet play at a recital?
Park on driveways and
( y' }* b- ^! L8 C& z$ ?; QDrive on parkways

7 M1 K. n9 r" b" X! v/ A. R0 ~, dYou have to marvel at the unique lunacy
Of a language where a house can burn up as
7 s$ U+ y& J' ~( y3 G3 v7 VIt burns down
And in which you fill in a form
By filling it out
3 F3 o7 ^; ^4 Q/ z9 A7 p( HAnd a bell is only heard once it goes!
% g! M# q. [2 d. I. o% r% A
English was invented by people, not computers
And it reflects the creativity of the human race
" Z# W' u/ h+ R& j4 n(Which of course isn't a race at all)

That is why
When the stars are out they are visible
But when the lights are out they are invisible
3 s6 u$ j+ N% mAnd why it is that when I wind up my watch
- i; t  i: f5 L9 k5 RIt starts
1 n5 B- @& z* ?6 {, kBut when I wind up this observation,
# U) p7 M/ w1 y' \/ {It ends.

我看了几行,就看不下去了.
5 _# s4 j8 ?; F3 [. y; D1) 第一行, 为什么用Have? 不用现在时? 直接用现在时表达当前的意思! 用have,现在完成时,是典型的中国教学出来的思维.
2)还是第一行, 用... trouble in learning English. 你写出你的句子,就是LINK3水平.
3)第二句: Let's face it. 可笑,可笑. 当然意思可以看的懂,但是写出这话, LINK2水平.
4) 下一句: stupid 是太口语话了.如果要讽刺他,又带一些正式文章色彩,可以用not as ... as 来表达.
其他的,我就不看了.好象LZ最近在学习E文. 你贴写文章出来,我帮你修改修改.虽然我也不行,但是可以帮你一些.

5 u$ `  U6 r( r实话讲，这个文章还真不是中国人写的。所以并不是只有中国人才犯语法错误

能写出此文的人，一定是深得英文精髓。幽默，有趣。
