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

- l) o: n- U8 @! O! ^" I7 r0 ?Let's face it
English is a stupid language.
  S6 a+ ^5 P! E# H1 l' f+ MThere is no egg in the eggplant
No ham in the hamburger
$ u- s5 l/ i9 l- zAnd neither pine nor apple in the pineapple.
English muffins were not invented in England
/ K: V) n& ]8 b( ^9 F4 nFrench fries were not invented in France.

  Y1 O0 f' Q5 GWe sometimes take English for granted
" I% U( k, `% ^1 D8 A' OBut if we examine its paradoxes we find that
* b2 h- T( W8 s" F5 f1 z) JQuicksand takes you down slowly
0 W( E! R* S8 M2 Q" |0 v! K4 T% aBoxing rings are square
And a guinea pig is neither from Guinea nor is it a pig.

' p3 x) R  w/ e+ Z2 Q/ v# {# |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,

If a vegetarian eats vegetables
What the heck does a humanitarian eat!?

Park on driveways and

You have to marvel at the unique lunacy
Of a language where a house can burn up as
" Z7 J9 v2 }& @6 b5 w8 qIt burns down
" L4 D' o; W/ y; h# Q' }' P; NAnd in which you fill in a form
By filling it out
And a bell is only heard once it goes!

5 C1 f9 q5 H; v7 V) UWhen 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
* D6 O! E* r' J. pIt starts
But when I wind up this observation,

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.
& m" p+ n$ f" q  ?  q3)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.
8 a7 _5 v: x2 Z) u4) 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.
2 `1 o) d# n1 |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？

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。
