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

0 |! n' \2 i% D% TEnglish is a stupid language.
There is no egg in the eggplant
No ham in the hamburger
And neither pine nor apple in the pineapple.
English muffins were not invented in England
+ n6 W2 ^; z4 q2 M! kFrench fries were not invented in France.

We sometimes take English for granted
) x. f- y6 M( rBut if we examine its paradoxes we find that
$ B2 G4 w  i- dQuicksand takes you down slowly
Boxing rings are square
# q9 ]# B& @5 o' N1 ~  L5 e" XAnd a guinea pig is neither from Guinea nor is it a pig.
, ?6 X) \7 y; z1 U# r9 a
If writers write, how come fingers don't fing.
- B/ A! C' k. |If the plural of tooth is teeth
. c% G4 _( [1 Q  W5 ~5 E. _8 w- DShouldn't the plural of phone booth be phone beeth
/ M" [; h5 G& n; W" {1 MIf the teacher taught,
, p& p  M6 m* e8 jWhy didn't the preacher praught.

If a vegetarian eats vegetables
What the heck does a humanitarian eat!?
* Y; Q0 Y2 F! j( w% ?# u$ T; ]: f" LWhy do people recite at a play
  A: z% A+ m4 R1 T$ w9 hYet play at a recital?
Park on driveways and

. E, L7 v/ ?3 o* W' s/ O) I' cOf a language where a house can burn up as
" |( F' Y7 h! ]# t7 z: w8 L2 @It burns down
And in which you fill in a form
" D2 t3 n" [" W9 m6 n4 I# yBy filling it out
And a bell is only heard once it goes!

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
: t; t8 G( N; M/ v8 ~% G+ zWhen the stars are out they are visible
0 t. v: s7 p6 _8 y4 [/ r& iBut when the lights are out they are invisible
And why it is that when I wind up my watch
; v$ o3 j* Q+ VIt starts
& H8 g! I' t. HBut when I wind up this observation,
It ends.

我看了几行,就看不下去了.
4 R8 O/ M2 l. }# P7 v: v3 Y, h1) 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.
) H% [' `4 ~' [, x. S1 _" O# Z2)还是第一行, 用... trouble in learning English. 你写出你的句子,就是LINK3水平.
) z/ N, D2 i6 z. c3)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.
6 Y* l6 x) P& r/ y% z& f. J/ O& l* W4) 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.
  P9 @- Q) q0 _  ]5 A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.
