English language

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

6 n7 ^* w' p  R; qLet's face it
English is a stupid language.
  x& R, ~4 @' [5 }% A% s5 o4 bThere is no egg in the eggplant
No ham in the hamburger
And neither pine nor apple in the pineapple.
English muffins were not invented in England
0 c+ `3 H1 [+ J( k0 d1 Q/ `: R% oFrench fries were not invented in France.
, W- ?, _3 |! Y, H  S3 J
0 K! N' ^# B$ {/ v" K" [2 dWe sometimes take English for granted
* l/ h) v! h8 N7 T" |8 c( UBut if we examine its paradoxes we find that
" B1 I; {: ^- d4 ~; SQuicksand takes you down slowly
Boxing rings are square
4 K0 ~0 k2 N6 y( bAnd a guinea pig is neither from Guinea nor is it a pig.

If writers write, how come fingers don't fing.
' y+ o; |6 Y: h5 wIf the plural of tooth is teeth
Shouldn't the plural of phone booth be phone beeth
If the teacher taught,
5 T( f% }3 k; s3 n  |& G7 w7 BWhy didn't the preacher praught.

( H! a3 Z$ {7 A% ]If a vegetarian eats vegetables
What the heck does a humanitarian eat!?
Why do people recite at a play
Yet play at a recital?
( Q# g4 X, _( D" jPark on driveways and
  M" z5 O! `+ C' nDrive on parkways

/ {) j6 v7 L" g! m8 I" fYou 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
/ t0 k8 c$ h' b( e; XAnd a bell is only heard once it goes!

  @( Y& q% G$ QEnglish was invented by people, not computers
' L, n0 C. Y8 t1 W. rAnd it reflects the creativity of the human race
. x5 L& R" L6 B" a6 r(Which of course isn't a race at all)
% N2 d" T; G0 g$ G* ^% ^
That is why
When the stars are out they are visible
. z0 _! |% f3 W6 v8 l  T+ p' tBut when the lights are out they are invisible
  ^  ?  i5 d" }6 u# a3 n2 O( c  A% HAnd why it is that when I wind up my watch
It starts
But when I wind up this observation,
- C- g6 p# |: O! I: M) ~5 kIt 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.
6 f+ n& J* d% O0 n2 Z8 x( x2)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.
. N6 i( A4 [) u: \' Q+ k0 q/ P7 x( s4) 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？
' W3 M! [6 L) x. o" ~, O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。
