Have you ever wondered why foreigners have trouble with the English Language?
4 ?* m0 [7 _) q
) W! \' u8 ]9 [9 xLet's face it
English is a stupid language.
9 v4 {1 v) V$ s7 q5 {$ y5 a6 hThere is no egg in the eggplant
No ham in the hamburger
And neither pine nor apple in the pineapple.
' _" b; s5 r9 K. N; j2 @1 N" iEnglish muffins were not invented in England
French fries were not invented in France.

We sometimes take English for granted
But if we examine its paradoxes we find that
8 {" l! Q0 h% i/ W/ \: tQuicksand takes you down slowly
Boxing rings are square
. e) w, }, w! J2 FAnd a guinea pig is neither from Guinea nor is it a pig.
2 W" {) Z2 T0 ]/ P$ k# M

If the plural of tooth is teeth
5 i6 h; M. k# l) z7 W5 {# V; n0 C9 A9 qShouldn't the plural of phone booth be phone beeth
If the teacher taught,
' W9 X7 O# U0 ?2 v3 |1 |. j0 lWhy didn't the preacher praught.

9 n& x$ \9 m: ?2 N! Q* ^' ~4 kIf a vegetarian eats vegetables

You 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
6 N% ^, D' h, KAnd a bell is only heard once it goes!

4 ~3 J: T1 q( y& YEnglish was invented by people, not computers
And it reflects the creativity of the human race
3 l" W/ g/ Y" h(Which of course isn't a race at all)

That is why
" G  Q. L, t+ bWhen 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
; z9 {/ Z4 a% S: ^  z$ t+ TIt starts
  T: G& A* u; E4 S& KBut 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.
' s: k1 |4 V. m8 U  V, E- J2)还是第一行, 用... trouble in learning English. 你写出你的句子,就是LINK3水平.
7 C  s9 r) I, e1 M1 q6 X2 |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.

谦虚使人进步。不看完怎么知道文章的精髓呢？
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。
