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

8 R7 D' z  M3 y, N& XLet's face it
+ r- z0 D. E" o9 d6 N9 ^English is a stupid language.
There is no egg in the eggplant
No ham in the hamburger
And neither pine nor apple in the pineapple.
4 M. T% s* G& s# ~$ e0 wEnglish muffins were not invented in England
French fries were not invented in France.

We sometimes take English for granted
But if we examine its paradoxes we find that

8 u' ~- Z7 l$ T( y  PAnd a guinea pig is neither from Guinea nor is it a pig.
9 u. i6 @' _8 q# Y& _8 e
If writers write, how come fingers don't fing.
( B+ n; j# E/ ?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.

If a vegetarian eats vegetables
What the heck does a humanitarian eat!?
Why do people recite at a play

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.
/ Q& d  T& T5 p* W+ K. G* y2)还是第一行, 用... trouble in learning English. 你写出你的句子,就是LINK3水平.
% i& ?& S) o9 t) l; j2 D1 F3)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 p; M0 a! z/ o4 p6 L- X+ |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.

. k5 a8 C  x* ?% S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。
