English language

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

Let's face it
English is a stupid language.
There is no egg in the eggplant
No ham in the hamburger
3 F3 _! S3 i! h9 ?# ]And neither pine nor apple in the pineapple.
English muffins were not invented in England
" K, g, V1 F8 D# {French fries were not invented in France.
( D' q) F. P) ?
We sometimes take English for granted
% e8 l* L4 H$ }& J! t! V# tBut if we examine its paradoxes we find that
! u3 {9 D8 O. j. c- W0 ]2 B2 \Quicksand takes you down slowly
: x% Y7 x/ I. H6 {& oBoxing rings are square
0 o2 Q$ e; G6 `% s) ~& U$ }7 ~5 DAnd a guinea pig is neither from Guinea nor is it a pig.

# Y) _3 `7 y% |# c7 }. U! v' WIf 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
8 k9 s& ^8 g1 v) g2 J( @If the teacher taught,
Why didn't the preacher praught.
& `: S- Q0 v# J# \1 L7 |3 v. [, [
If a vegetarian eats vegetables
7 z6 m1 ^) J  e! C6 pWhat the heck does a humanitarian eat!?
Why do people recite at a play
  ~+ X$ D; K  PYet play at a recital?

You have to marvel at the unique lunacy
Of a language where a house can burn up as
It burns down
' G( x! `1 O! V) g4 q) YAnd in which you fill in a form
By filling it out
- w) b% S3 ^0 Q$ h* M! ?" LAnd a bell is only heard once it goes!

English was invented by people, not computers
And it reflects the creativity of the human race
(Which of course isn't a race at all)
$ U' y/ M; Y; [5 c4 n, y0 |! G. `
That is why
! m6 X- W( q6 i8 S7 ^& }When the stars are out they are visible
: N: ]$ T, Q1 ^5 V$ B- G5 QBut when the lights are out they are invisible
And why it is that when I wind up my watch
3 I6 f; E0 C7 Z& k  A4 h# oIt starts
% q/ O1 w! g8 p' N2 s: P% mBut when I wind up this observation,
9 e# \1 a5 w) c' T/ d0 AIt ends.

我看了几行,就看不下去了.
( z- }  n  \1 ^' _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.
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.
4 o+ a7 J- e( x- S- F4) 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.
$ ?; `" C- h! F. B8 j# p: k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？
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。
