English language

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

Let's face it
$ Y9 h4 U' ]; ^0 `English is a stupid language.
There is no egg in the eggplant
No ham in the hamburger
4 L1 f! L& j8 mAnd neither pine nor apple in the pineapple.
# _7 c/ r  D: w0 BEnglish muffins were not invented in England
French fries were not invented in France.
$ k& z0 R. Q) s; }
We sometimes take English for granted
But if we examine its paradoxes we find that
Quicksand takes you down slowly
Boxing rings are square
, n4 v  }( M. g( C# Q) P+ F) xAnd a guinea pig is neither from Guinea nor is it a pig.
5 V% q/ K, S$ p' W4 d# g& _
: s1 M% Y4 X# ?: H5 [* e$ FIf 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
If the teacher taught,
6 h5 d) ?4 ~# @+ o- b. FWhy didn't the preacher praught.

0 @  D% v( J+ i9 U% _: ?# @If a vegetarian eats vegetables
What the heck does a humanitarian eat!?
Why do people recite at a play
Yet play at a recital?
Park on driveways and
Drive on parkways

! `8 w6 z' Z$ U! YYou have to marvel at the unique lunacy
Of a language where a house can burn up as
$ j  Q9 d0 g! CIt burns down
$ A. c7 I3 \+ y& v- K& z6 {. WAnd in which you fill in a form
By filling it out
. t* u2 E0 P) Y, Q2 ?6 a% s. p5 ~And a bell is only heard once it goes!
: G; R! B7 S- z# h) c9 d" J/ E

% E. d* \! W4 }. YAnd it reflects the creativity of the human race
8 N. r$ c/ g7 C, V, F0 g: Y(Which of course isn't a race at all)

3 O  j& l2 R) G' M8 {6 o* R3 aThat is why
8 o+ q7 q& B; N9 ^( i! `When the stars are out they are visible
But when the lights are out they are invisible
0 z% q7 H, X' t, D4 J, c4 A4 vAnd why it is that when I wind up my watch
, f1 V* g3 _& YIt starts
But when I wind up this observation,
) P/ r4 E' R( k/ P4 m+ m5 kIt 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.
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.

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。
