English language

billzhao

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

Let's face it
English is a stupid language.
5 U+ g0 O5 R9 n2 EThere is no egg in the eggplant
No ham in the hamburger
And neither pine nor apple in the pineapple.
9 T9 p% R2 t! ^3 m9 YEnglish muffins were not invented in England
French fries were not invented in France.

0 w; ^+ J, J" P6 w: m$ KWe sometimes take English for granted
( A& O% R4 _+ A3 tBut if we examine its paradoxes we find that
' T, j" R$ P  g% `  cQuicksand takes you down slowly
Boxing rings are square
And a guinea pig is neither from Guinea nor is it a pig.

) D, r& K- b5 X7 T% M  HIf writers write, how come fingers don't fing.
9 o' I9 \/ c1 M. ^If the plural of tooth is teeth
, k+ x; V! {% ]9 ^9 f  ?Shouldn't the plural of phone booth be phone beeth
If the teacher taught,
/ W( m/ I2 k: p( l+ iWhy didn't the preacher praught.
0 g8 r# R% D1 d" t
4 L. d. N  {! K! K( g! s; {9 IIf a vegetarian eats vegetables
What the heck does a humanitarian eat!?
Why do people recite at a play
Yet play at a recital?
Park on driveways and
Drive on parkways

You have to marvel at the unique lunacy
/ Q: }2 a- _; `5 n9 T# S) UOf a language where a house can burn up as
It burns down
4 e; X) P6 a* `; m% B2 e! aAnd in which you fill in a form
* y. X" a( ]$ xBy filling it out
) t9 l; P  Q9 E- Z1 U' R+ J( UAnd a bell is only heard once it goes!
. ?- g4 U0 I. R( m1 t$ x! d
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
+ M7 l: I. P. r' J# fWhen the stars are out they are visible
' t+ e$ d) ]: l! E  lBut when the lights are out they are invisible
5 T; ~/ y  [0 P: Z* xAnd why it is that when I wind up my watch
- |( {. k* A; ^4 @It starts
But when I wind up this observation,
0 M9 w* v1 x& T- \) P$ PIt ends.

我看了几行,就看不下去了.
% }6 t7 x6 E$ l, E/ u! l. ?9 x7 j( T4 x1) 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.
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。

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。
