Have you ever wondered why foreigners have trouble with the English Language?
* X. Y; j' ]8 y8 \2 d3 G
Let's face it
( w3 |3 X/ V! F8 }# p8 DEnglish is a stupid language.
+ ?3 I1 K5 ]% p. Y& k/ H$ S, zThere is no egg in the eggplant
No ham in the hamburger
And neither pine nor apple in the pineapple.
English muffins were not invented in England
& o8 q2 \, z7 n0 W+ n5 f+ `! `French fries were not invented in France.

2 K1 q# O+ w  o  V0 i: s4 B! DWe sometimes take English for granted
But if we examine its paradoxes we find that
  Z% n& m1 G( VQuicksand takes you down slowly
Boxing rings are square
* a" B$ h" n6 R/ G8 wAnd a guinea pig is neither from Guinea nor is it a pig.
) ^( @8 u6 @& G  a
If writers write, how come fingers don't fing.
If the plural of tooth is teeth
Shouldn't the plural of phone booth be phone beeth
" `% k5 h  E& Y* v6 s! N0 y5 U! wIf the teacher taught,
Why didn't the preacher praught.
& D+ p. G  I7 x$ I7 \  b/ u
If a vegetarian eats vegetables
4 m! M) ?7 N& O, n0 ^2 qWhat the heck does a humanitarian eat!?
Why do people recite at a play
Yet play at a recital?

% @* s6 _( r3 W- fDrive on parkways

You have to marvel at the unique lunacy
Of a language where a house can burn up as
. @# ^) a3 c. a! s6 ?  EIt burns down
And in which you fill in a form
0 m6 i. l2 F, s4 xBy filling it out
And a bell is only heard once it goes!

2 f& Y* `! @8 G6 Q* xEnglish was invented by people, not computers
And it reflects the creativity of the human race
(Which of course isn't a race at all)
# ^  l0 j8 T" @8 U% [* o
That is why
When the stars are out they are visible
But when the lights are out they are invisible
And why it is that when I wind up my watch
It starts
But when I wind up this observation,
0 k4 [. Q- S, {, GIt ends.

我看了几行,就看不下去了.
& }& [7 c( l+ D/ j! k8 o. A1) 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.
0 C3 `0 @9 T1 B2)还是第一行, 用... trouble in learning English. 你写出你的句子,就是LINK3水平.
9 |& `; u$ m( @7 Q3)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.
6 I/ {& b* s" z1 q, [: x  m4) 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.
