English language

billzhao

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

Let's face it
English is a stupid language.
There is no egg in the eggplant
No ham in the hamburger
, _8 W5 _) j) {( d9 x" TAnd neither pine nor apple in the pineapple.
English muffins were not invented in England
French fries were not invented in France.
; T8 c# g5 K) \
* p" L8 ^$ v; A/ a/ Q  DWe sometimes take English for granted
* c! L9 v4 G9 \8 I6 ?2 ?But if we examine its paradoxes we find that
Quicksand takes you down slowly
Boxing rings are square
/ A* u- a  k4 E' s$ pAnd a guinea pig is neither from Guinea nor is it a pig.

  E+ K5 l/ Y& o1 j- |/ {9 W! QIf writers write, how come fingers don't fing.
( t9 M# v9 e9 p5 y' J. GIf the plural of tooth is teeth
Shouldn't the plural of phone booth be phone beeth
If the teacher taught,
Why didn't the preacher praught.
3 I: N# f6 R6 n+ O" {# D% t
& u* M  A$ L; x  K+ w3 A0 F6 ?If a vegetarian eats vegetables
What the heck does a humanitarian eat!?
; N5 ?  q4 j% I/ |- YWhy do people recite at a play

Park on driveways and
" b; g( {0 q1 b  ^& HDrive on parkways

9 K, ]) G3 r; y; YYou have to marvel at the unique lunacy
Of a language where a house can burn up as
It burns down
" V6 Y8 b$ |3 B4 hAnd in which you fill in a form
% x, A: S& e7 b* [0 w+ `By filling it out
And a bell is only heard once it goes!

/ h. \( \# U9 F- g/ `: CEnglish was invented by people, not computers
' A% W! Y. r1 m  [9 I2 UAnd it reflects the creativity of the human race
8 ^% i; z* a5 G% g$ g" h/ a(Which of course isn't a race at all)

That is why
% v, B# a' U$ X0 i5 V: G4 UWhen the stars are out they are visible
But when the lights are out they are invisible
; |3 Y' Z$ a- a3 w) ^And why it is that when I wind up my watch
It starts
8 s+ [3 F! z$ i; P& {But when I wind up this observation,
It 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.
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.
, D0 L: T& |1 Z4) 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.
+ W* d5 ^6 q6 p+ j4 D: W2 _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.

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。
