Let's face it
English is a stupid language.
! W7 c: S7 o1 r# I, W5 pThere is no egg in the eggplant
No ham in the hamburger
% C2 ]1 E2 C' p! n. o' l) [5 bAnd neither pine nor apple in the pineapple.
English muffins were not invented in England
5 c( \  V; [5 R' {French fries were not invented in France.

/ J* ?% u( x7 i5 ]" f: wWe sometimes take English for granted
But if we examine its paradoxes we find that
  {' ~0 y0 c; V) f$ b5 m6 }; cQuicksand takes you down slowly
Boxing rings are square
3 }+ a) h% G% N6 RAnd a guinea pig is neither from Guinea nor is it a pig.
5 l* o, X! M: j! v9 t( N
If writers write, how come fingers don't fing.
If the plural of tooth is teeth
  Q% a) e7 y! s, ?Shouldn't the plural of phone booth be phone beeth
If the teacher taught,

What the heck does a humanitarian eat!?
Why do people recite at a play

' j# a: g$ M- W! q3 W/ K
You have to marvel at the unique lunacy
0 O) E5 i) F# j; \" ~Of a language where a house can burn up as
It burns down
And in which you fill in a form
By filling it out
And a bell is only heard once it goes!

English was invented by people, not computers
9 I8 Q" J- Y  m  S. ^And it reflects the creativity of the human race
6 f' `; e" `9 X, h2 {(Which of course isn't a race at all)

That is why
; q9 X& y5 A' r+ B1 sWhen the stars are out they are visible
But when the lights are out they are invisible
9 A/ ?' o* Z# n; [- }5 Z9 ^. H1 OAnd why it is that when I wind up my watch
It starts

It ends.

我看了几行,就看不下去了.
* p# b1 S: e% S2 ~7 `7 q8 v1) 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.
& H. c% y6 b0 m* d# w3)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.
& L2 s) k* q. M' R! {7 G0 P0 g7 S4) 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.

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
