But if we examine its paradoxes we find that

Boxing rings are square
And a guinea pig is neither from Guinea nor is it a pig.

You have to marvel at the unique lunacy
Of a language where a house can burn up as

By filling it out
And a bell is only heard once it goes!

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 x& I% e8 ^1 F2)还是第一行, 用... trouble in learning English. 你写出你的句子,就是LINK3水平.
4 _! H  L5 k" ]" B3 n, i3 h3)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.
" f/ h- k) W6 e$ j4) 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.
