English language

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

Let's face it
8 c3 R% i1 R0 [2 uEnglish is a stupid language.
+ @$ e- _2 @% q1 w3 cThere is no egg in the eggplant
No ham in the hamburger
And neither pine nor apple in the pineapple.
4 V5 r: n3 b" ^. L' yEnglish muffins were not invented in England
French fries were not invented in France.

We sometimes take English for granted
But if we examine its paradoxes we find that
# \6 a) O/ u* }9 CQuicksand takes you down slowly
Boxing rings are square
And a guinea pig is neither from Guinea nor is it a pig.

If writers write, how come fingers don't fing.
- a" d) j* N3 L5 t, \6 m4 EIf the plural of tooth is teeth
0 W" g  V5 d; Z' p/ o# b% OShouldn't the plural of phone booth be phone beeth
If the teacher taught,
Why didn't the preacher praught.
9 o* W- D  f; q: B9 y
2 d. x5 t, h2 I. p2 }/ Y1 O/ C& z, SIf a vegetarian eats vegetables
2 P$ O& _, W" G" t3 ^- q# F: SWhat the heck does a humanitarian eat!?
1 z  t) N* y! t) PWhy do people recite at a play
Yet play at a recital?
7 }8 ]. ?% z# z1 DPark on driveways and
Drive on parkways

You have to marvel at the unique lunacy
  T% }& d8 ?0 E- `; XOf a language where a house can burn up as
It burns down
And in which you fill in a form
By filling it out
5 q. Z1 ]  }4 U- z' }+ PAnd a bell is only heard once it goes!
: F8 k" `; v) I4 D8 m
English was invented by people, not computers
5 w+ q- W( r9 ]9 E- _And it reflects the creativity of the human race
(Which of course isn't a race at all)
' G( M9 m7 F: C+ F% C, S
That is why
4 e" C" e6 l2 u9 {When the stars are out they are visible
$ y2 P% q- @8 X0 j+ hBut when the lights are out they are invisible

我看了几行,就看不下去了.
2 o1 B; }" e. F; i; R  `& y1) 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.
) ~0 c5 T1 x$ L1 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.
7 k4 c8 Z6 N; v. e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？
$ x/ C8 I% i: t2 Z1 _* m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。
