English language

billzhao

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

Let's face it
! v0 R# @. G( x* q6 L, WEnglish is a stupid language.
  w9 V8 \. O3 h! F  D- C8 i: ?; ~There is no egg in the eggplant
+ P, _% d  D; m: P, ]4 WNo ham in the hamburger
  {/ Z6 A) P4 d5 KAnd neither pine nor apple in the pineapple.
# P$ g% y2 [: o; J( f: kEnglish muffins were not invented in England
French fries were not invented in France.
, M' q1 }2 y7 Y0 y0 P
We sometimes take English for granted
But if we examine its paradoxes we find that
( c% L/ A% ]% N; a1 V7 @* J9 CQuicksand takes you down slowly
7 o7 ^$ d. y% yBoxing rings are square
/ y6 J3 B  N$ wAnd a guinea pig is neither from Guinea nor is it a pig.
8 B5 c+ c; }- Z! ]& R
3 [1 K2 j! Q+ _" D1 nIf writers write, how come fingers don't fing.
3 v1 [* S5 T0 c" IIf the plural of tooth is teeth
& u$ c3 f" c9 Y6 I! |. RShouldn't the plural of phone booth be phone beeth
If the teacher taught,
Why didn't the preacher praught.
: p, j  b7 j& \1 j
( p' @3 V2 P& @, A) \- ]5 b; G3 z7 vIf a vegetarian eats vegetables
What the heck does a humanitarian eat!?
4 c. ~9 t# k/ C5 qWhy do people recite at a play
Yet play at a recital?
+ n6 b  L. W& w6 CPark on driveways and
Drive on parkways

You have to marvel at the unique lunacy
Of a language where a house can burn up as
3 D5 {! A) X$ O' }It burns down
! T/ q  }: d) H0 T6 O- oAnd in which you fill in a form
By filling it out
And a bell is only heard once it goes!
  w# g3 b4 I5 ]
English was invented by people, not computers
/ V) j! j* _  d  cAnd it reflects the creativity of the human race
(Which of course isn't a race at all)

That is why
& y% ?# J7 C5 O% o4 XWhen the stars are out they are visible
But when the lights are out they are invisible
0 G( l$ j) @6 }5 I. F; [And why it is that when I wind up my watch
$ y9 y% t; ~1 qIt 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.
2)还是第一行, 用... trouble in learning English. 你写出你的句子,就是LINK3水平.
1 [% y0 ^# e" X3)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.
1 `" B/ L6 p- O: u' _. Q9 V4) 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.

谦虚使人进步。不看完怎么知道文章的精髓呢？
/ \/ I3 T: K5 v3 z" o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。
