English language

Have you ever wondered why foreigners have trouble with the English Language?
# g$ t4 p' |& H6 t, V. q0 k: i
Let's face it
English is a stupid language.
( ]6 U. p$ c3 ^) ]+ }There is no egg in the eggplant
) _; A* S$ Z" q5 f6 sNo ham in the hamburger
4 ^8 ?& |2 J5 \0 A0 q/ \And neither pine nor apple in the pineapple.
) X/ R$ n" N9 F; YEnglish muffins were not invented in England
% a/ E3 M. F$ NFrench fries were not invented in France.
5 ?% O. e2 ~- F. P
We sometimes take English for granted
% F" N& O) W# iBut if we examine its paradoxes we find that
Quicksand takes you down slowly
Boxing rings are square
And a guinea pig is neither from Guinea nor is it a pig.

' ]( b- A2 S% V) lIf writers write, how come fingers don't fing.
If the plural of tooth is teeth
6 ]" e1 P$ q/ X7 `- `6 {Shouldn't the plural of phone booth be phone beeth
If the teacher taught,
3 d' x; @, _  |4 Q$ A; u9 ?1 s; _Why didn't the preacher praught.
& A  g  l' Q& h/ u# R8 I) y
& j6 `% u6 c: A0 U0 `If a vegetarian eats vegetables
What the heck does a humanitarian eat!?
* F" V5 O8 s: R9 IWhy do people recite at a play
' F3 e$ q  M  }( s# A% _6 R8 AYet play at a recital?
Park on driveways and

You have to marvel at the unique lunacy
Of a language where a house can burn up as
# g4 N, c8 T  H" G; s" vIt burns down
And in which you fill in a form
  I8 u8 c, h7 H3 K+ n1 n+ o) c1 e" nBy filling it out
6 g$ h( T% V+ R. s) SAnd a bell is only heard once it goes!

English was invented by people, not computers
And it reflects the creativity of the human race
( q$ s) V: r/ U(Which of course isn't a race at all)

And why it is that when I wind up my watch
It starts

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.
* O( T  A: n/ J" S2)还是第一行, 用... trouble in learning English. 你写出你的句子,就是LINK3水平.
$ l+ W  B( ~" D5 v* {* L; e+ G0 @0 S3)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.
( I5 o3 u' m% D& L. o3 _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.
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。
