English language

billzhao

Have you ever wondered why foreigners have trouble with the English Language?
* v7 e- x# \* H! }
Let's face it
$ O1 e" r+ K# K4 M( m' |4 ZEnglish is a stupid language.
There is no egg in the eggplant
No ham in the hamburger
And neither pine nor apple in the pineapple.
English muffins were not invented in England
1 S& r5 f: P1 X! i' SFrench fries were not invented in France.

" `: e* q, }; s- u+ J& m7 k6 fWe sometimes take English for granted
6 K$ {  R" L" w0 H8 Y+ N1 xBut if we examine its paradoxes we find that
; G& [' z$ s5 s' ~% b  SQuicksand takes you down slowly
Boxing rings are square
And a guinea pig is neither from Guinea nor is it a pig.

2 p: A4 I$ l* c" ^8 x2 cIf writers write, how come fingers don't fing.
If the plural of tooth is teeth
3 x- F4 x# z- Y: q7 kShouldn't the plural of phone booth be phone beeth
0 M; S4 N& c8 B  fIf the teacher taught,
Why didn't the preacher praught.

If a vegetarian eats vegetables
What the heck does a humanitarian eat!?
( ?8 R5 j$ t& v( |& [Why do people recite at a play
) o, O* a1 _7 d; w8 z) S. OYet play at a recital?
Park on driveways and
Drive on parkways

You have to marvel at the unique lunacy
- D: H/ g5 n. P+ d: h- ]$ \; a- ^Of a language where a house can burn up as
0 u4 y! r+ f( m( W4 {It burns down
" g: K) p9 Q* c$ TAnd in which you fill in a form
; h. b3 c7 G! [3 jBy 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
. \7 j; M5 V$ D" i! |- v(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
+ k" O/ L* s9 A8 H* o2 O+ cAnd why it is that when I wind up my watch
It starts
But when I wind up this observation,
It ends.

我看了几行,就看不下去了.
& X. k! N; O6 I& U, M1) 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.
4 v( d7 I: |8 |: O2)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.
& n" q$ }0 l7 d' o9 ^- z4) 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？
% l/ p5 Y3 r0 |' p; N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。
