English language

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

) l4 R7 K% d: n; i' X$ pLet's face it
English is a stupid language.
7 t( s4 A1 I/ ^3 k( x& zThere is no egg in the eggplant
/ z  C/ M7 _7 a! @No ham in the hamburger
) @2 B& r6 c/ \& @0 gAnd neither pine nor apple in the pineapple.
English muffins were not invented in England
) v" ^+ P; x; u* U) yFrench fries were not invented in France.
9 _, _" b5 _+ m: k* S
, H" P. d# D  h3 B6 Z7 bWe sometimes take English for granted
But if we examine its paradoxes we find that
# w- \' L" Y7 K' I) i4 Z2 a0 v' E" ~Quicksand takes you down slowly
& v8 Y0 @4 ]; p" {- H( v1 MBoxing rings are square
And a guinea pig is neither from Guinea nor is it a pig.
  y- J# x/ q. P- c' J
If writers write, how come fingers don't fing.
If the plural of tooth is teeth
1 H& M  ~  O2 C" _5 R+ n( G9 ~Shouldn't the plural of phone booth be phone beeth
7 F0 w2 x( S5 A* ]' K% zIf the teacher taught,
Why didn't the preacher praught.

# K! `0 [8 w- k* ~If a vegetarian eats vegetables
1 H  C' h/ P& V: M; T1 QWhat the heck does a humanitarian eat!?
3 }+ D$ U9 d0 wWhy do people recite at a play
. _! n  Y! D+ l: z- V$ _7 aYet play at a recital?
8 S; M+ i0 c. A- p+ C' hPark on driveways and
Drive on parkways

You have to marvel at the unique lunacy
3 M( K! ~0 g0 I( yOf a language where a house can burn up as
# @; a# F% j2 a3 D+ fIt burns down
And in which you fill in a form
By filling it out
And a bell is only heard once it goes!

9 o. i) u* f7 n- pWhen the stars are out they are visible

And why it is that when I wind up my watch

It ends.

我看了几行,就看不下去了.
6 t% b8 [) l6 E9 n& t6 c1) 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.
0 ~# \. a9 G3 Q* j4 O; w( ^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.
' x" V2 [  q0 S; G0 c4) 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.

- z, t0 w" ?9 \8 G' N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。
