English language

billzhao

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

Let's face it
- h% \& D  v$ c: ~5 B; R9 gEnglish is a stupid language.
There is no egg in the eggplant
No ham in the hamburger
4 y$ S" G; p$ B, K0 s! }9 hAnd neither pine nor apple in the pineapple.
: u% B3 i' y  g/ F% s, B7 ]English muffins were not invented in England
French fries were not invented in France.

1 S  ?4 A4 I& jWe sometimes take English for granted
" p7 h$ U& _( m2 e( jBut if we examine its paradoxes we find that
) N: ]' Y1 B! I9 I' Y6 m6 EQuicksand takes you down slowly
Boxing rings are square
& k4 Z$ Y5 l# `/ M% A1 z& WAnd a guinea pig is neither from Guinea nor is it a pig.

, J" D  Q1 I0 `9 C% \, o) }4 ^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,
  s6 G- \. d5 g0 f1 Q4 z# n* `Why didn't the preacher praught.
( H  L- s) S+ h% v' w
If a vegetarian eats vegetables
1 {" K9 I* I+ |; f. k$ ]What the heck does a humanitarian eat!?
Why do people recite at a play
/ s* p9 {/ q3 |4 SYet play at a recital?
# }" o9 _9 r* [5 K' n0 i% K+ J9 HPark on driveways and
, `; S7 ~* Q. l" nDrive on parkways

You have to marvel at the unique lunacy
Of a language where a house can burn up as
* p6 m# i% x  L  QIt burns down
8 {0 s* y$ _& Y. N7 X& sAnd in which you fill in a form
By filling it out
2 x+ c- H7 Y& c* s9 iAnd a bell is only heard once it goes!

* V# P- e; s7 {English was invented by people, not computers
! L& g2 \( [7 U  T4 v) A  m  e4 sAnd it reflects the creativity of the human race
" R) C# a( p# g6 f( T. n(Which of course isn't a race at all)
* V  ~' H+ s" M( \+ Q
* r7 E+ D% j) g: M; y2 f! D# RThat is why
When the stars are out they are visible
* G+ i* {, u6 u9 Y! W' MBut when the lights are out they are invisible
And why it is that when I wind up my watch
It starts
* ~/ L* S- K1 r4 KBut when I wind up this observation,
/ L6 d' O2 e( t& HIt 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.
1 p% k, E0 A3 k  z' p/ E2)还是第一行, 用... trouble in learning English. 你写出你的句子,就是LINK3水平.
5 E+ S0 G6 Z6 h" U1 K8 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.
. ?- m3 C! Y# O; @7 [. U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.

能写出此文的人，一定是深得英文精髓。幽默，有趣。
