English language

billzhao

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

" b& j! }) a4 P+ H0 |  i  Q* h: D* Y4 JLet's face it
English is a stupid language.
There is no egg in the eggplant
No ham in the hamburger
' c+ Z' L: i1 v# n+ rAnd neither pine nor apple in the pineapple.
2 x* j7 O6 {& a% M2 U( ?English muffins were not invented in England
French fries were not invented in France.

4 x9 l5 y0 a) A8 eWe sometimes take English for granted
But if we examine its paradoxes we find that
Quicksand takes you down slowly
Boxing rings are square
And a guinea pig is neither from Guinea nor is it a pig.
) t) [$ V' S" j( w( R+ `: l5 E
If writers write, how come fingers don't fing.
+ y( _# e  U) b, Z% CIf the plural of tooth is teeth
Shouldn't the plural of phone booth be phone beeth
6 W  C$ [1 G2 ]( k. VIf the teacher taught,
Why didn't the preacher praught.
! q9 T$ D, e, j2 E
/ ~4 w, t. z7 u  M; G  zIf a vegetarian eats vegetables
What the heck does a humanitarian eat!?
6 z( _& c! U& b3 d' _Why do people recite at a play
# U& F* {) o# \5 g) i/ |2 K- L0 ~. TYet play at a recital?
6 r  ]6 S  |/ R; pPark on driveways and
Drive on parkways
4 r+ C. ~5 ]5 K3 F- d2 o
% X/ T/ d* \, bYou 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
. r* o, Y9 ]! ?1 i" y( T& mAnd a bell is only heard once it goes!

% U' j1 H. k5 c6 ^5 M) WEnglish 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
" A: E* e/ i2 R6 Q# x0 CWhen the stars are out they are visible
3 J6 ^+ `' p8 \But when the lights are out they are invisible
# g6 ~: ]5 e  X4 I8 B6 C: J' hAnd why it is that when I wind up my watch
It starts
9 a/ R9 w/ I& U/ GBut when I wind up this observation,
4 ]' }" k0 W: d  n7 o7 {, @. }+ C7 `It ends.

我看了几行,就看不下去了.
$ h* q, g, i4 |6 V, ~; 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.
5 {- g! W( @9 Y" H7 O" q& k: f2)还是第一行, 用... trouble in learning English. 你写出你的句子,就是LINK3水平.
) t. {9 x. q1 q- l& K! g8 d6 Z1 ?3 D% n3)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？
/ P$ J" k9 Y0 d+ Z. Z5 e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。
