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

1 C4 i* l; S- pLet's face it
English is a stupid language.
: [: R) U( F8 h8 H# t+ `- IThere is no egg in the eggplant
9 `9 _5 W) @; `+ F5 Q) yNo ham in the hamburger
1 [3 }! N2 h8 r4 m5 ]' lAnd neither pine nor apple in the pineapple.
English muffins were not invented in England
French fries were not invented in France.

9 ^3 l" k' R6 }: AWe sometimes take English for granted
! r8 r3 P0 U& W) W9 c2 k8 TBut if we examine its paradoxes we find that
6 Y" N- @0 I' S1 ]7 {" `+ b/ w/ TQuicksand takes you down slowly
7 q8 M$ K0 R: m5 O7 ABoxing rings are square
5 V! [# F% K% qAnd a guinea pig is neither from Guinea nor is it a pig.

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,
$ V6 @1 t+ p) TWhy didn't the preacher praught.

If a vegetarian eats vegetables
What the heck does a humanitarian eat!?
Why do people recite at a play

3 r5 B8 m& k) Q0 s" X; yOf a language where a house can burn up as
It burns down
And in which you fill in a form
By filling it out
! I; g2 s* g/ ?% Q# u+ bAnd a bell is only heard once it goes!
0 r, e6 P2 q/ S
1 F2 A/ [" v' q  dEnglish was invented by people, not computers
And it reflects the creativity of the human race
(Which of course isn't a race at all)
$ {6 n2 z' e# B  m. ~
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
It starts
5 s" e8 A; k/ `. [+ P! Q- DBut 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.
, J0 o& m+ X8 J- p: W: w0 x7 a+ ]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) 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.
8 X* b9 }' X" W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。
