English language

billzhao

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

Let's face it
English is a stupid language.
( ?) W0 ~% R- T( `4 D- g6 E  bThere is no egg in the eggplant
No ham in the hamburger
+ ~! @* O7 u+ b. K. A9 W& {And 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
8 v7 D8 }* A+ D7 v, eBut if we examine its paradoxes we find that
Quicksand takes you down slowly
Boxing rings are square
. W( z! Y$ L1 F7 WAnd a guinea pig is neither from Guinea nor is it a pig.

If writers write, how come fingers don't fing.
! y$ S5 }; ^. e  ?* ?3 `If the plural of tooth is teeth
Shouldn't the plural of phone booth be phone beeth
If the teacher taught,
Why didn't the preacher praught.

% x9 f( R7 g9 M+ D* m, I) YIf a vegetarian eats vegetables
What the heck does a humanitarian eat!?
: a2 ^2 [0 l5 c! K" `$ s* iWhy do people recite at a play
Yet play at a recital?
Park on driveways and
1 Z. [; `0 U# u( u' t- g2 ODrive on parkways

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
By filling it out
3 a; W# F9 W) i  N$ D* cAnd a bell is only heard once it goes!

& h: S. h& i. S+ V4 u; G9 MEnglish was invented by people, not computers
5 O! b' ~, T- F. q6 wAnd it reflects the creativity of the human race
& @/ u; X+ m. X(Which of course isn't a race at all)
/ j) ]: o5 o  K2 d. t/ Q' Q
That 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
5 d: r7 C" I) R6 h( tIt starts
But when I wind up this observation,
! D/ Q+ F8 u3 g7 T3 |: I; DIt ends.

我看了几行,就看不下去了.
4 W; g2 |0 z5 E7 X0 ^0 Y2 J1) 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.
' q8 `9 `8 l8 @( T& s2)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.
. C4 Q  F$ y5 ^/ G4) 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？
. j2 T, c) M2 q: h3 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。
