English language

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

6 [2 ~( p' c* w# o. J, y* c1 mLet's face it
$ ~% v& Y; F4 H$ ^English is a stupid language.
There is no egg in the eggplant
1 ]7 ~( ?7 [2 {1 R4 D. lNo ham in the hamburger
And neither pine nor apple in the pineapple.
5 s. e" u* `9 H+ lEnglish muffins were not invented in England
French fries were not invented in France.

) h2 C; X0 T: ?) d$ ^# f- ?8 KWe sometimes take English for granted
: V7 @" W, h8 fBut if we examine its paradoxes we find that
Quicksand takes you down slowly
Boxing rings are square
' d( S3 K9 f- u9 A0 f* i% ?And a guinea pig is neither from Guinea nor is it a pig.

If writers write, how come fingers don't fing.
  h& T, D0 [7 _( L7 BIf the plural of tooth is teeth
* O9 ^5 O# A* u3 p# j/ g* JShouldn't the plural of phone booth be phone beeth
If the teacher taught,
Why didn't the preacher praught.

If a vegetarian eats vegetables
: W/ Y$ Y# Q! c& Q, xWhat the heck does a humanitarian eat!?
' E# S  w0 D+ q# kWhy do people recite at a play
3 C( X7 a' G4 Q1 ZYet play at a recital?
Park on driveways and
2 e. C4 C( Q7 r. _1 n% ^$ M# Q7 aDrive on parkways

9 `, d$ s% Z9 N4 e( n2 uYou have to marvel at the unique lunacy
Of 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!
! C9 y- ]& f: P) ^( N
" c: A5 ]: L4 M) qEnglish was invented by people, not computers
7 @2 y$ t  t' J# Y0 ?' w6 ?And it reflects the creativity of the human race

  y" Z% F, }7 r* e3 x
8 V) c' ^8 n+ P8 k; 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
+ q2 }9 \4 J! P& JIt starts
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.
/ W/ y5 }, E$ f: r, d" \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 F) P6 I! f# H$ S& D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？
8 T' X+ W  T+ l/ W7 T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。
