English language

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

. J5 ^' F) Q; @- D5 @' x8 n2 c  ZLet's face it
English is a stupid language.
2 H; P! i) D8 T4 F: o1 q/ N; SThere is no egg in the eggplant
) O! Z9 H& [! X' |* q  f4 T3 \No ham in the hamburger
And neither pine nor apple in the pineapple.
1 \+ U3 v! W2 I2 J; P7 WEnglish muffins were not invented in England
9 j1 X& T& [- CFrench fries were not invented in France.
# \+ h: X: i6 A
% K7 i  m4 m$ Z# z' g8 m6 Z2 {We sometimes take English for granted
But if we examine its paradoxes we find that
Quicksand takes you down slowly
% g! M- t9 `5 NBoxing rings are square
  y" D: ]. Y" ?* f3 LAnd a guinea pig is neither from Guinea nor is it a pig.
" Q9 k7 N- J, N/ C- E3 g9 K
If writers write, how come fingers don't fing.
If the plural of tooth is teeth
3 d% T" X8 [. V' j& XShouldn't the plural of phone booth be phone beeth
( P/ Y- _7 m7 XIf the teacher taught,
Why didn't the preacher praught.

2 t8 L# S$ @* C9 R( k. QIf a vegetarian eats vegetables
8 m, H& _6 K8 @  c8 E$ ^What the heck does a humanitarian eat!?
; F( {, {1 a' ?/ }Why do people recite at a play
- T0 U  N$ ^4 s6 E% ^6 RYet play at a recital?
Park on driveways and
  s. J0 w# N  VDrive on parkways
1 Y; n+ M' P9 j7 y9 a4 h: R
You have to marvel at the unique lunacy
Of a language where a house can burn up as
9 e* \- \* @  \- y; @6 |- vIt burns down
5 k* F) z; T( @: l! CAnd in which you fill in a form
By filling it out
0 V: P7 w" j8 k, F) v  e  rAnd a bell is only heard once it goes!
% ^3 f+ _! s2 V& {
English was invented by people, not computers
And it reflects the creativity of the human race
(Which of course isn't a race at all)

That is why
6 U4 I0 |, F$ ~  ^3 h/ L) W5 fWhen 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
7 o3 i! o' ^0 E' g5 c# W0 }. gBut when I wind up this observation,
2 ^0 m" ~' B6 U8 ~" Q+ ^0 I3 xIt ends.

我看了几行,就看不下去了.
* D' @( q, P1 T+ b3 E9 e, K  f. p+ U1) 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.
% _7 f/ L! O$ t3)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.
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。
