English language

Have you ever wondered why foreigners have trouble with the English Language?
9 v& w( ?/ ^, j' Z5 m- m& Y
- C" r$ N) l9 [7 NLet's face it
English is a stupid language.
& r( V3 e1 p7 K) F& o4 a3 NThere 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
2 ]3 P; O7 Q* c- Q- IFrench fries were not invented in France.

We sometimes take English for granted
But if we examine its paradoxes we find that
4 e5 F$ f4 W3 b' B( WQuicksand takes you down slowly
Boxing rings are square
/ C: K# {- r' M" k) X" N6 ]7 XAnd a guinea pig is neither from Guinea nor is it a pig.

0 G1 h! |# W1 i( ^: QIf writers write, how come fingers don't fing.
( B, A! b5 _0 I) `/ v% d/ Y5 uIf the plural of tooth is teeth
# P7 L; q) |' n% _9 O2 VShouldn't the plural of phone booth be phone beeth
0 _2 Q' }. Y) {& N; b9 hIf the teacher taught,
Why didn't the preacher praught.

: i, k4 E' @2 C4 |3 e9 v# U$ pIf a vegetarian eats vegetables
$ @) q0 B6 @* ]- kWhat the heck does a humanitarian eat!?
Why do people recite at a play
6 R, G% B8 j$ y' [Yet play at a recital?
Park on driveways and
Drive on parkways

You have to marvel at the unique lunacy
Of a language where a house can burn up as
( }& E$ W1 g* w! x' y+ r' UIt burns down
  ?& I5 V% |9 y  sAnd in which you fill in a form
( g  }2 u, z' c/ {0 ~+ TBy filling it out
' l) G  U, K% V% T7 k- rAnd a bell is only heard once it goes!

8 z8 K: b/ D& P3 D) B5 A8 O0 SEnglish was invented by people, not computers
: k  e& q- v; T, q/ N. xAnd it reflects the creativity of the human race
# q0 U- T8 [3 S* U(Which of course isn't a race at all)
4 y' A7 i4 ]% g
! R  [* @0 M+ R7 J$ S' f  g$ RThat is why
When the stars are out they are visible
But when the lights are out they are invisible
5 i1 ]! ~! x5 b; o* uAnd why it is that when I wind up my watch

It ends.

我看了几行,就看不下去了.
! h: ^; c5 A& `$ I. ?6 X, O% o1) 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.
8 \1 F: }0 x# `# X: `2)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.
) V% R' k3 c% [# E% L4) 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.
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？
! w/ |' h0 h! W! D2 F  o$ B0 ?0 \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。
