English language

billzhao

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

! n2 M& f" a% \/ |Let's face it
# A( _$ w3 S9 ?- UEnglish is a stupid language.
There is no egg in the eggplant
7 }) c5 L& I' h) x* D+ ^No ham in the hamburger
And neither pine nor apple in the pineapple.
English muffins were not invented in England
& v/ L) w4 ~( b0 l2 wFrench fries were not invented in France.

. b- D4 L2 n9 H1 |/ }0 |We sometimes take English for granted
) {" n7 i1 S( Z8 xBut if we examine its paradoxes we find that
1 E1 ]6 g0 y  iQuicksand takes you down slowly
Boxing rings are square
And 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
Shouldn't the plural of phone booth be phone beeth
4 [% r# M% L; E# t) H. RIf the teacher taught,
! E, N% j# s, {! z7 L3 ^: qWhy didn't the preacher praught.
4 ~6 L. C; O# L8 F$ K
: M. I) p: f" `$ qIf a vegetarian eats vegetables
  B6 Z5 Y7 U/ h$ ]9 A* F; e" dWhat the heck does a humanitarian eat!?
Why do people recite at a play
4 _$ `" b3 T5 m- bYet play at a recital?
Park on driveways and
% p% ?& ]6 T2 y, J$ MDrive on parkways

) L- k* V5 o0 \! fYou have to marvel at the unique lunacy
Of a language where a house can burn up as
$ T$ R. i6 `! Z% U# lIt burns down
& S' A, h: m. F3 M! U8 bAnd in which you fill in a form
By filling it out
And a bell is only heard once it goes!
+ }) B; Z6 A; U# t# ?
8 K. H1 m; u& u7 LEnglish was invented by people, not computers
And it reflects the creativity of the human race
/ ?2 I4 k  q' w& p6 S. e(Which of course isn't a race at all)

That is why
3 i- t  K3 F" u  b0 M" S2 qWhen the stars are out they are visible
But when the lights are out they are invisible
/ t7 D+ d: \4 \" l! C( b! W/ LAnd why it is that when I wind up my watch
It starts
But when I wind up this observation,
# O$ e1 m3 U: Z- S, T: }2 xIt ends.

我看了几行,就看不下去了.
$ b9 e/ T6 |0 ]/ p7 k: ^/ _! q1) 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.
) B; f' u& a& _' P- n4) 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.
7 w8 p% U, h9 ~' I+ d* H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？

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。
