Have you ever wondered why foreigners have trouble with the English Language?
$ A  f% ~9 C( ]0 z5 _' h% v4 }
0 I8 f/ u+ C, z* z( v( KLet's face it
English is a stupid language.
There is no egg in the eggplant
  ]* w6 [% h% j' S# U$ ~No ham in the hamburger
  E7 ~) k% b$ A% L8 lAnd neither pine nor apple in the pineapple.
English muffins were not invented in England
French fries were not invented in France.

We sometimes take English for granted
0 d" p: I# y) q* E; K. p: [But if we examine its paradoxes we find that
Quicksand takes you down slowly
. \  T9 r& W* H, HBoxing rings are square
  P) o4 b' I( `9 `& KAnd a guinea pig is neither from Guinea nor is it a pig.
$ C# W9 Y) F& _
If writers write, how come fingers don't fing.
" k$ q, z# ?- z/ o. s' I0 DIf the plural of tooth is teeth

. |0 Z# q6 x" iIf the teacher taught,
Why didn't the preacher praught.

Drive on parkways

You have to marvel at the unique lunacy
Of a language where a house can burn up as
It burns down
2 s: R' Y! f2 e- }And in which you fill in a form
By filling it out
And a bell is only heard once it goes!
: Z+ w1 e8 q6 p) ~6 _" Y7 t0 s
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)

It starts

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.
0 n) m, t. a* f& @; _  _7 C8 I6 D2)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.
/ o) \% [0 \; d4 e% f, Y) s/ p4) 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.
) [9 s0 B. G+ F0 ~8 h) H+ j5 ?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。
