English language

billzhao

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

/ R& `7 D7 }& a) d8 F, OLet's face it
$ {, ]  ]0 C/ ^8 N2 I5 CEnglish is a stupid language.
9 T4 N2 s' i& @; S2 o* uThere is no egg in the eggplant
3 j- B& Q: h0 HNo ham in the hamburger
/ g( r6 H+ k  n* K, sAnd neither pine nor apple in the pineapple.
% u+ Z3 X" U; D$ J8 }$ g1 X# m5 E% pEnglish muffins were not invented in England
French fries were not invented in France.
" ~$ p% B$ `0 I) }4 _. z, w
We 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.

If writers write, how come fingers don't fing.
1 v4 }3 v) M8 y# r1 Y3 @; eIf the plural of tooth is teeth
  P' s; z8 a9 x: o: g2 P( Q; \% ^2 kShouldn't the plural of phone booth be phone beeth
If the teacher taught,
( ?! _( W1 g" D" ^3 Y9 YWhy didn't the preacher praught.
' M# ^* Y5 f6 H+ q/ G7 o3 g
If a vegetarian eats vegetables
$ q/ J3 q" R0 x5 `7 T6 ^5 x' BWhat the heck does a humanitarian eat!?
3 ?3 I% O  Z1 L- D; E) A. |Why do people recite at a play
Yet play at a recital?
Park on driveways and

You have to marvel at the unique lunacy
% R) N: y9 m! ?$ GOf a language where a house can burn up as
It burns down
4 W) D9 g* C1 `: K% T( E5 }And in which you fill in a form
By filling it out
4 B& o; z1 q0 E( jAnd a bell is only heard once it goes!

English was invented by people, not computers
. F5 G6 A( x9 n/ dAnd it reflects the creativity of the human race
(Which of course isn't a race at all)

! r1 Y$ w9 m0 {2 Z9 C0 }4 J8 hThat is why
When the stars are out they are visible
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,
4 p% i7 ]. H4 b3 T2 d3 `, B# CIt 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.
& x9 ?, C# Y/ v" f3 l3 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.
' G& D: e, x5 X. C4) 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.
% Q" e! A% t) W' p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。
