English language

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

4 T. V. l" O! V8 L# fLet's face it
! C0 ^4 f( Z' C# a* d: J: i0 h6 oEnglish is a stupid language.
7 @3 D7 a" N  J' @. {, {* pThere is no egg in the eggplant
$ I. }5 F+ H7 M# ]9 ]No ham in the hamburger
And neither pine nor apple in the pineapple.
English muffins were not invented in England
French fries were not invented in France.

% N5 k# K" N% f- z# r* f5 e& K* cWe sometimes take English for granted
But if we examine its paradoxes we find that
Quicksand takes you down slowly
Boxing rings are square
And a guinea pig is neither from Guinea nor is it a pig.
' S' i4 `% v8 |4 o
8 f; e3 t& Z; y3 B' hIf 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
/ c% Y% D( ~+ y9 sIf the teacher taught,
3 s# k( H8 Z: P9 YWhy didn't the preacher praught.

) n* m+ m$ k! ]If a vegetarian eats vegetables
What the heck does a humanitarian eat!?
Why do people recite at a play
0 E3 r+ }# b9 F  @1 C  k7 PYet play at a recital?
Park on driveways and
4 s4 o; J6 o! i+ Q' RDrive on parkways

# A, u3 A2 l2 l* u" W; |, FYou have to marvel at the unique lunacy
Of a language where a house can burn up as
: N* A5 A* @8 C6 @! OIt burns down
# R: r# g3 l  U- ?) M1 o8 x1 lAnd in which you fill in a form
By filling it out
: o# q, a2 U" v& O$ xAnd a bell is only heard once it goes!
# \# I( O0 r+ V  x) T4 J7 k; \
English was invented by people, not computers
And it reflects the creativity of the human race
* j& {1 u2 W/ V0 C6 ](Which of course isn't a race at all)

When the stars are out they are visible

It starts
8 ?: Q2 W9 y8 \' JBut when I wind up this observation,
It ends.

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.
2)还是第一行, 用... trouble in learning English. 你写出你的句子,就是LINK3水平.
, g" [) P. i( @! |  N3)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 v2 U6 g+ i" e9 Y' p4) 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.

5 R/ c' k* [4 x( d: w- G& t- C; x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。
