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

& [- J5 H  {) i- O5 r3 TLet's face it
English is a stupid language.
" p& v( V2 y7 F# [1 aThere is no egg in the eggplant
No ham in the hamburger

English muffins were not invented in England

- L2 A6 v5 y( M) v* k* EQuicksand takes you down slowly
Boxing rings are square
3 i) k) O5 d4 p) b4 V2 b. Y( Q8 LAnd 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
( S7 R0 ]" }1 q( C& ?; G8 R- oShouldn't the plural of phone booth be phone beeth

English was invented by people, not computers
And it reflects the creativity of the human race

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.
% C, r3 s( ]3 T- V9 n2)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.
* r, s. Y' _+ t- [! H7 w' {/ M# ^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.

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。
