English language

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

6 w3 n  v) F$ q0 ?6 BLet's face it
English is a stupid language.
4 f: ]& }. J! J8 \5 s: AThere is no egg in the eggplant
No ham in the hamburger
And neither pine nor apple in the pineapple.
( s9 T! N5 {: i/ f1 Y. e) WEnglish muffins were not invented in England
French fries were not invented in France.
4 j" n3 o' E" @3 d( H# C& r
9 S) X+ ~5 |! |* K% b0 }We sometimes take English for granted
. j: R' V$ T- K' G, X0 I) uBut if we examine its paradoxes we find that
+ {+ H+ I9 J. E- K4 hQuicksand takes you down slowly
Boxing 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,
" X2 O7 h) m( Y( R. {Why didn't the preacher praught.
: A4 q  |& f2 ]8 m8 {$ q6 `
If a vegetarian eats vegetables
0 m# L2 R2 _1 C: h$ h9 XWhat the heck does a humanitarian eat!?
Why do people recite at a play
Yet play at a recital?
1 k; Y: _5 ?' \% q3 \* ?# L# g1 CPark on driveways and
6 I5 I8 j1 b: K" d' E  V& zDrive on parkways

You have to marvel at the unique lunacy
2 O# s/ P$ N* sOf a language where a house can burn up as
, }" Q9 J( t1 Q% I- f) D( CIt burns down
And in which you fill in a form
By filling it out
And a bell is only heard once it goes!

* N* O2 M2 ~. p& `7 FEnglish was invented by people, not computers
And it reflects the creativity of the human race
# C  K# [0 {' S(Which of course isn't a race at all)
3 s* q$ _+ l* O4 {, Z( n/ \
: U) I9 u) O* X7 |That is why
When the stars are out they are visible
' N" k* I# @. d+ A" u6 eBut when the lights are out they are invisible
And why it is that when I wind up my watch
It starts
But when I wind up this observation,
It 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.
; v  D  v- v' w& m" l2)还是第一行, 用... trouble in learning English. 你写出你的句子,就是LINK3水平.
! P4 N+ S) [& G3)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.
, h. o, C; P9 D7 _% c- `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.
, K/ y4 a/ q: R' [9 h$ r0 Z" k/ y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

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。
