Have you ever wondered why foreigners have trouble with the English Language?

Let's face it
2 `! `8 _4 Q( A* ?- @1 w& `English is a stupid language.
7 u! {5 c# E8 r! t5 Y' kThere is no egg in the eggplant
. y& R4 E- e9 d1 ENo ham in the hamburger
- v3 _, h) K8 J& B) d+ ]; yAnd neither pine nor apple in the pineapple.
English muffins were not invented in England
( M- h4 }# {1 i1 u7 W5 g$ X  oFrench fries were not invented in France.
5 H1 B* |7 @# `
We sometimes take English for granted
But if we examine its paradoxes we find that
5 K) Y; P7 H% \& RQuicksand takes you down slowly
: Z9 K: z* C. B% o+ sBoxing rings are square
And a guinea pig is neither from Guinea nor is it a pig.
( \; Z- |& y8 W& a
If writers write, how come fingers don't fing.
! P" q* v" x) KIf the plural of tooth is teeth
/ e! ]# ]7 ^' xShouldn't the plural of phone booth be phone beeth
If the teacher taught,
; q& ~: y' M. a7 P' pWhy didn't the preacher praught.

" C- e& U# Z3 r' X: Y  TIf a vegetarian eats vegetables

Why do people recite at a play
Yet play at a recital?
& n3 p2 t. o. g6 F2 S9 FPark on driveways and
Drive on parkways

You have to marvel at the unique lunacy
) e+ k9 m0 o% n9 V0 H  \! rOf a language where a house can burn up as
It burns down
And in which you fill in a form
By filling it out
7 [! L( b+ r8 S* F  j" n0 U* zAnd a bell is only heard once it goes!

English was invented by people, not computers
6 H+ G9 ]+ ?4 t3 D6 vAnd it reflects the creativity of the human race
9 u2 E, E3 z! ?+ }: m(Which of course isn't a race at all)
' }* H( U3 X& G2 X6 @
That is why
When the stars are out they are visible
But when the lights are out they are invisible
1 O5 |8 r* w2 x- h" C! w% W- v) vAnd why it is that when I wind up my watch
It starts
3 I3 b1 t& X/ Z* PBut when I wind up this observation,
$ i- s! {% @& I0 g( fIt ends.

我看了几行,就看不下去了.
1) 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.
% f3 F# w9 J! v/ [2)还是第一行, 用... trouble in learning English. 你写出你的句子,就是LINK3水平.
+ `+ ~3 ]6 g) U) |4 v& k3)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 S6 S6 ^/ z/ @( N( s4 ~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.
/ [8 Q) N/ h9 Q9 W4 [5 Q7 z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.

7 F! g" l: C# h4 R谦虚使人进步。不看完怎么知道文章的精髓呢？
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。

我觉得这篇文章还是写的蛮好的。是楼主自己写的吗？如果是转帖应该注明出处吧。
