English language

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

  L2 L8 m; c( [  rLet's face it
English is a stupid language.
There is no egg in the eggplant
9 A0 Y+ h5 W- K  n3 X+ GNo ham in the hamburger
And neither pine nor apple in the pineapple.
English muffins were not invented in England
9 i: Y  l& E( z; z3 z3 kFrench fries were not invented in France.
) n+ \" D( F$ s+ Q$ V/ m2 I
& @* S7 l2 c  E! Z  _1 z4 iWe sometimes take English for granted
But if we examine its paradoxes we find that
+ p- Z% \2 S6 |: P; w' J8 gQuicksand takes you down slowly
Boxing rings are square
% [3 V; a& [  wAnd a guinea pig is neither from Guinea nor is it a pig.

+ F; W3 Y/ J* @) _- PIf 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,
/ [# z7 g! E5 a2 {0 R* cWhy didn't the preacher praught.

) m2 h  l2 F8 |  WIf a vegetarian eats vegetables
/ l  @* @, F: b8 ~$ _( HWhat the heck does a humanitarian eat!?
4 d# ]& f; X) C  s. `, z: EWhy do people recite at a play

- o2 O; C; g7 N: J# p% |0 |Park on driveways and
( @1 j$ z) f$ CDrive on parkways

: a5 d9 Q2 {% A; D3 GYou have to marvel at the unique lunacy
  B/ P+ l1 N+ Y: tOf a language where a house can burn up as
It burns down
And in which you fill in a form
By filling it out
And a bell is only heard once it goes!

6 o# K7 \& R3 Z0 x! LEnglish was invented by people, not computers
And it reflects the creativity of the human race
(Which of course isn't a race at all)
; X: d4 Z1 K- }
That is why
When the stars are out they are visible
But when the lights are out they are invisible
* W, \8 [2 L( G- e) [And why it is that when I wind up my watch
- o- [$ {0 z( s; K5 H/ f% zIt starts
3 \5 m' F6 f, l9 a/ v! ~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.
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.
! A0 _2 ?9 |7 Q5 G% [- N! e4) 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？
* G2 R" ?4 k7 a1 Z7 B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。
