English language

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

Let's face it
, r+ m5 o& B2 C7 J( l$ oEnglish is a stupid language.
! R+ z0 H+ W( K) WThere 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
- T& ^4 q8 T' [  s* r2 PFrench fries were not invented in France.

We sometimes take English for granted
  |7 z  G3 D$ O, Z1 DBut if we examine its paradoxes we find that
0 G$ B# n( A4 I7 y3 z& jQuicksand takes you down slowly
Boxing rings are square
And a guinea pig is neither from Guinea nor is it a pig.
; b& d" Q# X/ K. l
1 [  d9 F1 D7 H! o- Z' ^+ TIf writers write, how come fingers don't fing.
If the plural of tooth is teeth
5 [4 S0 W$ @8 q6 G" c; q1 RShouldn't the plural of phone booth be phone beeth
1 p# d; H2 j: e$ W; HIf the teacher taught,
Why didn't the preacher praught.
8 X2 m: ]9 V7 k6 }
If a vegetarian eats vegetables
What the heck does a humanitarian eat!?
% t3 ~; x7 f8 s& V1 L. t1 G) JWhy do people recite at a play
Yet play at a recital?
Park on driveways and
% W( y; o# {: f* G0 y7 gDrive on parkways

3 k7 n6 A, X* u) HYou have to marvel at the unique lunacy
% @4 U' K% F( C3 X2 XOf a language where a house can burn up as
It burns down
And in which you fill in a form
By filling it out
And a bell is only heard once it goes!

  i, o3 h' W2 V/ H' d8 Q5 kEnglish was invented by people, not computers
And it reflects the creativity of the human race
3 C9 p" o7 k- D" L7 R; ~: F(Which of course isn't a race at all)
& E+ T2 b4 U( a7 T: c" N) J
- X! U& ]4 O9 {; K) Y0 U1 V  MThat is why
When the stars are out they are visible
  ~2 K. b! W# j! K) _/ s. aBut when the lights are out they are invisible
% [3 p8 @4 c- h4 m5 D# ~And why it is that when I wind up my watch

It ends.

我看了几行,就看不下去了.
' R' M( a" m! T- a& r! X6 x1) 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.
1 I8 b/ D! F  [; e% ?4 t4) 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.
2 U  n0 B' o' W9 p  t( g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.

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。
