English language

billzhao

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

Let's face it
4 T  D4 a4 B# G. d! D2 Q. b3 cEnglish is a stupid language.
There is no egg in the eggplant
. V5 ~! [! d0 A$ iNo ham in the hamburger
And neither pine nor apple in the pineapple.
English muffins were not invented in England
# t2 [. s5 f+ R2 K3 LFrench fries were not invented in France.

' P5 R8 c* A+ T& cWe sometimes take English for granted
But if we examine its paradoxes we find that
Quicksand takes you down slowly
" k  y8 `2 b+ E9 cBoxing rings are square
4 J* P3 _) c/ j$ k" ]- g/ z* XAnd a guinea pig is neither from Guinea nor is it a pig.

If writers write, how come fingers don't fing.
If the plural of tooth is teeth
$ m& f5 Q  \3 B. H* h6 EShouldn't the plural of phone booth be phone beeth
If the teacher taught,
Why didn't the preacher praught.

If a vegetarian eats vegetables
What the heck does a humanitarian eat!?
4 h1 J* T7 U* D; T) d2 H' C( KWhy do people recite at a play
7 ]0 X/ N3 v( pYet play at a recital?
Park on driveways and
! `7 A9 T6 w$ ^7 B; D, {7 }$ p6 aDrive on parkways

; q7 b! q* y- W; a9 JYou have to marvel at the unique lunacy
Of a language where a house can burn up as
It burns down
. p4 G* L+ b( y3 w: |5 c1 i2 Z1 Y' jAnd in which you fill in a form
' i# F. S$ p* @" j) T6 u9 s4 WBy filling it out
And a bell is only heard once it goes!
+ ~6 x7 {8 i0 _# Q( H9 [: E
English was invented by people, not computers
And it reflects the creativity of the human race
- z7 {1 W6 R- T! P+ J( O3 [(Which of course isn't a race at all)

That is why
When the stars are out they are visible
But when the lights are out they are invisible
/ _' U  ?6 a, A  H" b8 RAnd why it is that when I wind up my watch
7 u  k( E/ R1 y, K2 c% b8 z# sIt starts
But when I wind up this observation,
It ends.

我看了几行,就看不下去了.
4 l6 C3 {' r+ E: m& h+ _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.
: X, d1 z& l2 L- G' u1 n" c% \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.

$ C" ~; L" @' w/ q9 |- \5 J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。
