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

Let's face it
4 Y; O7 }1 S2 y- p! ?. LEnglish is a stupid language.
$ ^3 Q! J* y! H8 Z# F) pThere 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
$ j6 ^2 N- S: E- I, QFrench fries were not invented in France.

" e5 L, |7 r1 V8 u) MWe sometimes take English for granted
But if we examine its paradoxes we find that
. @" k) J& ^4 c* P) q/ @Quicksand takes you down slowly
Boxing rings are square
$ \7 d' I# }: GAnd a guinea pig is neither from Guinea nor is it a pig.
3 A& A/ Y! l% a. n! X
If writers write, how come fingers don't fing.
$ Z/ r9 D# S, U3 HIf the plural of tooth is teeth
; s, I( }; T9 _, f% T5 DShouldn't the plural of phone booth be phone beeth
If the teacher taught,
3 C: b% W, l* S0 L% z/ P4 QWhy didn't the preacher praught.
9 X3 q2 t/ V8 X+ X1 G( N
5 l7 U1 u. S% `: yIf a vegetarian eats vegetables
What the heck does a humanitarian eat!?
Why do people recite at a play
- Z; U5 g: k, k/ p9 u: D% ~# eYet play at a recital?
Park on driveways and
Drive on parkways

You have to marvel at the unique lunacy
+ G9 _$ X  @, G. s2 `3 _4 mOf 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!

# ~. [; `1 T+ }" n5 N0 \& p. MEnglish was invented by people, not computers
( R8 m+ q$ ^. Q- v8 X9 ?8 n4 |3 R% yAnd it reflects the creativity of the human race
" p- Q3 O% T- f$ ]. I' \(Which of course isn't a race at all)

That is why
0 D, C1 P+ g/ d# }1 o0 r6 hWhen the stars are out they are visible
6 K; H+ o, B$ `$ wBut when the lights are out they are invisible
6 Q6 w' m! B# J4 NAnd why it is that when I wind up my watch

7 z& p4 {" W9 Y" {+ t- ^But when I wind up this observation,
It ends.

我看了几行,就看不下去了.
" ^4 ]0 |" t+ x+ D: g' W6 Z1) 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.
9 J4 I' _, k# k0 O9 X4 @3 l6 G2)还是第一行, 用... trouble in learning English. 你写出你的句子,就是LINK3水平.
$ V0 D, S3 S3 j( A3)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.
& S  l) X* C$ P/ b7 C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。
