English language

Have you ever wondered why foreigners have trouble with the English Language?
5 Q8 v/ Y2 _# L. M2 O# [1 u
Let's face it
English is a stupid language.
! ]- ^, e  A$ d& W$ GThere is no egg in the eggplant
( _* m4 F& ?; D# B" GNo ham in the hamburger
And neither pine nor apple in the pineapple.
6 S& L( B8 U8 SEnglish muffins were not invented in England
+ P# t- q$ o: Z5 Q+ K4 h; L4 b$ ZFrench fries were not invented in France.
2 u- G) O: v8 U
0 I! p' r$ K+ Q. O6 K/ F% aWe sometimes take English for granted
But if we examine its paradoxes we find that
Quicksand takes you down slowly
7 q, G* N. b, x) ~! gBoxing rings are square
  \" B3 G9 Z9 e) r9 l, w( hAnd a guinea pig is neither from Guinea nor is it a pig.

1 r. }& I' Y- d- l/ F/ @# h: J; yIf writers write, how come fingers don't fing.
  ~2 [- r/ H$ `& a. ^) E4 a1 oIf the plural of tooth is teeth
Shouldn't the plural of phone booth be phone beeth
  z) h) ~# N0 @% L$ r) ]If the teacher taught,
, W- R8 G; {: iWhy didn't the preacher praught.

* ]" N$ C# [; B9 O+ eIf a vegetarian eats vegetables
$ N( f+ j. e- `. WWhat the heck does a humanitarian eat!?
. r5 b9 h; ]0 P; YWhy do people recite at a play
& g! ?" S6 B# [2 LYet play at a recital?
5 _! f4 @6 S$ ]; \, }# vPark on driveways and
( |8 F( _0 B6 _* lDrive on parkways

You have to marvel at the unique lunacy
Of a language where a house can burn up as
2 R. Y5 ]. a  K3 ]4 y& dIt burns down
And in which you fill in a form
9 D6 [9 c" `5 mBy filling it out
( i( I( r% j* @' I" ?6 @4 l; EAnd a bell is only heard once it goes!

English was invented by people, not computers
! X% B0 C3 R7 fAnd it reflects the creativity of the human race
" X# }" u0 C4 ~* N(Which of course isn't a race at all)
6 M$ v2 p$ q5 ~+ R$ k: s
6 \$ ^# y7 [) ~* oThat is why
When the stars are out they are visible
7 C5 h- n6 H8 c9 R+ A/ o1 \But when the lights are out they are invisible
And 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.
, v$ ]! s8 F7 Z; P1) 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.
& {# ]- t# |+ Z2)还是第一行, 用... trouble in learning English. 你写出你的句子,就是LINK3水平.
; o/ T) s  A# G& J3)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.
, l/ k% V. ~! n1 z: e1 Q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.
