English language

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

Let's face it
+ C. L7 f' ^: N. g! V4 C/ iEnglish is a stupid language.
There is no egg in the eggplant
& d: X# {# s3 ^. FNo ham in the hamburger
/ z7 L( o6 Z! q  T! F. V4 H; n' n' JAnd neither pine nor apple in the pineapple.
English muffins were not invented in England
French fries were not invented in France.

0 t! O" ?# M% [! R% qWe sometimes take English for granted
But if we examine its paradoxes we find that
Quicksand takes you down slowly
/ V( j) ]: G) q( A2 K) UBoxing rings are square
7 |, d* {8 H$ s3 P- L2 f9 V2 l! \And a guinea pig is neither from Guinea nor is it a pig.

If writers write, how come fingers don't fing.
5 @- z$ N; E' P" QIf the plural of tooth is teeth
; J' s3 d$ S5 K7 E( d! E% WShouldn't the plural of phone booth be phone beeth
) j* f: O# s, b' ~( F8 gIf the teacher taught,
! ?8 W* v% _; a8 Y/ ^Why didn't the preacher praught.
7 k" b% C: }: |
# N, A7 O4 y1 b* V0 G1 l# WIf a vegetarian eats vegetables
What the heck does a humanitarian eat!?
% P* r  w4 Q2 b7 Z% RWhy do people recite at a play
Yet play at a recital?
- }8 M5 ]- k2 D2 G5 ^. Y+ xPark on driveways and
* w2 q2 b. m5 X$ SDrive on parkways
7 J- I  [" v+ m7 Q+ n3 j6 w. G3 _
0 j/ v+ q9 i- U# r4 p5 aYou have to marvel at the unique lunacy
4 H- `" @% m3 J. V3 a( u. BOf a language where a house can burn up as

% g) K7 ]" H: y& NAnd in which you fill in a form
# g) U0 ^; l6 O3 B" d3 r# f7 m% @; {By filling it out
And a bell is only heard once it goes!
9 Y% k4 m: J3 }6 O" Y; ?
English was invented by people, not computers
And it reflects the creativity of the human race
8 f& \; |& A6 l$ \3 p(Which of course isn't a race at all)

That is why
When the stars are out they are visible
But when the lights are out they are invisible
* g% M' e0 y& G4 C& I& YAnd why it is that when I wind up my watch
It starts
  }# D5 O/ O5 q: W) n+ mBut when I wind up this observation,
+ e5 t. n" D/ \$ A1 B( LIt 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.
; }% {& f. d4 y2)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.
' Q. S* y' w0 J" 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.
- F- b: t: P5 S; p5 [( z0 _: z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.

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。
