Have you ever wondered why foreigners have trouble with the English Language?
% B7 _% U% b4 i* l
* M& o( c$ h' D4 QLet's face it
7 P1 T' d  A: X9 Y) YEnglish is a stupid language.
1 q: {! u* W7 g1 FThere is no egg in the eggplant
No ham in the hamburger
6 F5 E* T, Q# L5 A& j. DAnd neither pine nor apple in the pineapple.
English muffins were not invented in England
French fries were not invented in France.

We sometimes take English for granted
3 j! w* j- F; L) ?But if we examine its paradoxes we find that
8 x& k- d+ k0 v3 @Quicksand takes you down slowly
( a: q- d7 y8 ^' W. k1 qBoxing 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.
If the plural of tooth is teeth
Shouldn't the plural of phone booth be phone beeth
If the teacher taught,
' B: s+ `# i2 s! L. B! n' J% kWhy didn't the preacher praught.
- U) F+ u5 q# [1 M2 V# M# ~3 I0 ]
& ~& e$ A: w' I5 H0 j1 R% s8 lIf a vegetarian eats vegetables
What the heck does a humanitarian eat!?
Why do people recite at a play
% l' \6 H) i$ |8 b2 q0 iYet play at a recital?
Park on driveways and
Drive on parkways

+ X# g& w3 `( Q5 x$ ^/ C3 H7 rYou have to marvel at the unique lunacy
9 p* Q5 s* y  L% B  p! k7 y" s9 hOf a language where a house can burn up as

6 K- s( q: T% ]: q' J& B' N
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.
2)还是第一行, 用... trouble in learning English. 你写出你的句子,就是LINK3水平.
; H5 y* w! A2 @( m. u3)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.
! z+ a" V8 l- g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。
