English language

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

0 U( u4 y2 n* h4 D. |Let's face it
English is a stupid language.
There is no egg in the eggplant
No ham in the hamburger
9 y; @2 _) f+ R5 l/ f0 ?And neither pine nor apple in the pineapple.
English muffins were not invented in England
French fries were not invented in France.

8 T" Y. A$ o! x+ O" j9 xWe sometimes take English for granted
But if we examine its paradoxes we find that
Quicksand takes you down slowly
1 {( j1 ]" p8 N* u" j) |& QBoxing rings are square
+ ~' d1 {; {) D- ?) hAnd a guinea pig is neither from Guinea nor is it a pig.

If writers write, how come fingers don't fing.
If the plural of tooth is teeth
  T# G1 ~5 m3 w+ fShouldn't the plural of phone booth be phone beeth
If the teacher taught,
, B6 G! q# X' v; ~$ GWhy didn't the preacher praught.
$ t# o* r2 U( A& @* W
If a vegetarian eats vegetables
! X4 \0 T; ~  ~+ S5 q6 }1 H( l  nWhat the heck does a humanitarian eat!?
- y. Y' x8 o- R/ s- H! w) r" o" t! LWhy do people recite at a play
3 M1 V3 f4 A% E5 dYet play at a recital?
Park on driveways and
Drive on parkways
+ B: z; E' g3 C1 k" F
4 L3 b. g9 R  x) C! dYou have to marvel at the unique lunacy
/ f5 i4 W( \- {Of a language where a house can burn up as
* W) @: b# e+ {+ ~+ l; ]It burns down
And in which you fill in a form
By filling it out
And a bell is only heard once it goes!

English was invented by people, not computers
( G  G6 w! I+ O. OAnd it reflects the creativity of the human race
(Which of course isn't a race at all)
+ E2 A. @+ O0 R$ ^% \7 o- A1 R
That is why
$ t; o' W3 b: S$ [When the stars are out they are visible
- \4 Z# P2 j& m9 c' \But when the lights are out they are invisible
And why it is that when I wind up my watch
It starts
But 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.
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.
. u0 i6 U! W! x4) 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.
+ o  W. C' y( x7 F% e- _" r! @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。
