English language

billzhao

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

  S# r1 T9 n5 O; J9 h/ VLet's face it
- q; J! j4 J% e# B3 h7 `) YEnglish is a stupid language.
3 e2 Z( A, p/ y0 l+ C3 _There is no egg in the eggplant
No ham in the hamburger
* K3 L+ X/ S6 i5 y# ?+ s$ FAnd neither pine nor apple in the pineapple.
English muffins were not invented in England
7 f" [, r" l% S5 bFrench fries were not invented in France.
/ n/ f  F! {/ l
We sometimes take English for granted
But if we examine its paradoxes we find that
( \7 z9 |/ j) q7 D6 H7 n: RQuicksand takes you down slowly
Boxing rings are square
2 V* m6 q3 p' V5 C7 u2 @- O; X5 WAnd a guinea pig is neither from Guinea nor is it a pig.

- m7 X* F5 w+ d6 Z9 t7 c5 yIf writers write, how come fingers don't fing.
If the plural of tooth is teeth
2 v; c! |7 l: t4 P& {7 AShouldn't the plural of phone booth be phone beeth
( y+ P$ Y- A5 g) gIf the teacher taught,
Why didn't the preacher praught.
5 |, Z! Z5 ?; J4 E5 L% }# X
% v5 `7 V0 q% a0 {$ X3 C% P6 e" aIf a vegetarian eats vegetables
0 H& T  w* M! K$ z( DWhat the heck does a humanitarian eat!?
1 ]4 v# @3 @) O2 n/ o" }Why do people recite at a play
Yet play at a recital?
* f  S3 v, v$ e7 |- C0 RPark on driveways and
6 r* R  D8 |4 ?/ i( ]) j) rDrive on parkways

You have to marvel at the unique lunacy
Of a language where a house can burn up as
It burns down
- o3 _& g0 j+ @And in which you fill in a form
: u# V# k' q0 d. J$ X) A2 {0 J% L* VBy filling it out
1 N6 ^- ~8 I& n7 mAnd a bell is only heard once it goes!

1 l% C9 {, K4 c! [English was invented by people, not computers
" E" h! h" y8 [% {7 {. N) lAnd it reflects the creativity of the human race
2 V3 K- g& I' X0 }6 x! Y(Which of course isn't a race at all)

: F& l* Q& z# H& DThat is why
When 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
It starts
1 h7 j0 ?2 v' ]# O( e9 dBut when I wind up this observation,
It ends.

我看了几行,就看不下去了.
; j* O& V! i2 q: _. r) D% u1) 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.
( N) f3 J+ x* U0 y3)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.
5 D( k) w; A% Z4) 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？
5 u7 M: p" J- M0 V+ s6 H1 C/ q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。
