English language

Have you ever wondered why foreigners have trouble with the English Language?
' e1 I# P' j) Q+ M
Let's face it
English is a stupid language.
5 T: [/ Y+ [3 j) @5 h9 t1 K2 R2 VThere is no egg in the eggplant
3 S. T# m; y: u% y& C1 g1 P8 a6 TNo ham in the hamburger
5 ~+ X5 S! o: W6 b" U" q9 vAnd neither pine nor apple in the pineapple.
" w  L3 n9 d& k8 mEnglish muffins were not invented in England
French fries were not invented in France.

We sometimes take English for granted
+ K' |  _8 V# H1 W; m7 ABut if we examine its paradoxes we find that
Quicksand takes you down slowly
0 O+ u5 l/ V  `1 t2 IBoxing rings are square
+ G! Q$ m9 m1 L/ |- b0 K. RAnd a guinea pig is neither from Guinea nor is it a pig.
/ R- s) p; S( ?" v5 [* {' L
+ S' `, _' q  U9 y8 \" K" t* ~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,
) t/ R* Q5 L( `8 m3 Y* fWhy didn't the preacher praught.
7 B4 ~% V4 t; J7 ^7 }
+ @1 l  t" q9 E' cIf a vegetarian eats vegetables
) R% O0 {5 G1 U5 B( SWhat the heck does a humanitarian eat!?
Why do people recite at a play
/ S. L0 v- u  m  B/ YYet play at a recital?
$ I3 _3 ~1 ~$ b9 S6 v! B* 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
4 H- X% G" B7 t  ]* K  h$ BIt burns down
And in which you fill in a form
5 q5 Q: N4 y9 y: I+ rBy filling it out
) V  u4 v+ i/ F5 y$ BAnd a bell is only heard once it goes!
: J8 [* C) f# f0 c  B
English was invented by people, not computers
9 t4 x) X1 Y- Z+ h% @And it reflects the creativity of the human race
5 P! O/ J( m1 ^7 N6 P(Which of course isn't a race at all)
( d- e" T/ m$ Z5 t! R2 _9 _
That is why
When the stars are out they are visible
But when the lights are out they are invisible
And why it is that when I wind up my watch
5 U3 a& P: G# X3 I4 @! ?; `It starts
8 r4 U7 o: N9 |$ ^6 S5 ]But when I wind up this observation,
8 o5 w% v8 C4 c6 v! FIt ends.

我看了几行,就看不下去了.
. Y* ^( u8 P; R9 l1) 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.
+ i8 V' u; {  L! f, Y1 C2)还是第一行, 用... trouble in learning English. 你写出你的句子,就是LINK3水平.
  @3 z/ l3 T, M$ X0 {* T4 r3)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.
: I& S8 A" k2 M" W) l2 L) V2 b. m4) 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.
& A, f1 `4 b+ e7 r: v# z; N7 v9 b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。
