English language

billzhao

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

% z! T+ m, X' Q( ~+ j' w3 K: E) DLet's face it
English is a stupid language.
There is no egg in the eggplant
9 y& i3 a0 k3 GNo ham in the hamburger
' K2 e: F8 T$ N9 wAnd neither pine nor apple in the pineapple.
English muffins were not invented in England
French fries were not invented in France.
$ T1 N' a) h- k/ _8 M+ s0 F
$ `( Y; l. a, _6 ~' FWe sometimes take English for granted
But if we examine its paradoxes we find that
Quicksand takes you down slowly
Boxing rings are square
  k* N7 u3 g, T5 r2 qAnd a guinea pig is neither from Guinea nor is it a pig.

If writers write, how come fingers don't fing.
) v" @  E+ T* @( xIf the plural of tooth is teeth
! t2 N4 ]  Z+ K# l  Z. VShouldn't the plural of phone booth be phone beeth
If the teacher taught,
& I$ ~# k# S! s+ S. @' v( `$ bWhy didn't the preacher praught.

. y: Q0 L4 X; BIf a vegetarian eats vegetables
What the heck does a humanitarian eat!?
% v9 R5 C1 c. H" G9 E% e6 CWhy do people recite at a play
  d" ~$ C" u! l1 s4 [Yet play at a recital?
1 a' U$ Y2 a  ^# C2 E! kPark on driveways and
' k  |5 q2 g, A6 x: q8 MDrive on parkways

9 M8 b! U. r5 {/ ^0 s6 ]You 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
* q+ t$ o6 u  _; R0 zBy filling it out
And a bell is only heard once it goes!

- J6 a2 t" B5 P' `1 x0 E5 hEnglish was invented by people, not computers
) [$ N- @/ D: sAnd it reflects the creativity of the human race
* ~1 a4 @8 d$ B/ U$ E(Which of course isn't a race at all)

That is why
When the stars are out they are visible
( F  E0 s5 L1 e4 i& f. yBut when the lights are out they are invisible
And why it is that when I wind up my watch
; j! y; ^* }. R6 y* |% f2 gIt 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.
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？
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。
