English language

billzhao

Have you ever wondered why foreigners have trouble with the English Language?
  l$ w! r4 ]: G  {& M, _$ V
3 P$ r7 |) r4 u2 F) b7 \Let's face it
English is a stupid language.
There is no egg in the eggplant
No ham in the hamburger
" `0 m8 p4 P- J6 t7 [And neither pine nor apple in the pineapple.
  ~' z" b* S1 }& z$ _English muffins were not invented in England
French fries were not invented in France.

We sometimes take English for granted
But if we examine its paradoxes we find that
Quicksand takes you down slowly
$ R, B5 C4 x" Y0 m8 XBoxing rings are square
3 ?- L7 ~" I$ S: NAnd a guinea pig is neither from Guinea nor is it a pig.
9 z$ [  T$ B+ D( ?# n; G1 H
If 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
* G; A5 P+ q# [/ xIf the teacher taught,
Why didn't the preacher praught.

2 Z+ C/ {/ n) p5 L; b+ A( wIf a vegetarian eats vegetables
What the heck does a humanitarian eat!?
Why do people recite at a play
- ]* [& s$ j9 M  x  wYet play at a recital?
# ?' s8 d* M$ h1 vPark on driveways and
Drive on parkways

You have to marvel at the unique lunacy
Of 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!

English was invented by people, not computers
And it reflects the creativity of the human race
* a. ~: b6 x; U% f: Q(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
And why it is that when I wind up my watch
) G  [, z% q7 G; ^& K9 f6 WIt starts
) i2 `. K3 u6 _, h, zBut when I wind up this observation,
It ends.

我看了几行,就看不下去了.
! c4 S" M, |  x% c1) 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.
- Z; P" {8 \1 B& ?5 v4) 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.

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。
