Neither Pine① nor Apple in Pineapple②
Have you ever asked yourself why people often have trouble learning③ English[1] I hadn't，until one day my five-year-old④ son asked me whether there was ham⑤ in a hamburger．There isn't．This made me realize that there's no egg in eggplant⑥ either． Neither is there pine nor⑦ apple in pineapple．[2]This got me thinking how English can be a crazy language to learn．[3]
[1]why people often have trouble learning English是why引导的宾语从句，作asked的宾语。
[2]Neither is there... 为否定词位于句首的部分倒装结构。
[3]句中how引导的从句作thinking的宾语；got me thinking是“get＋宾语＋宾语补足语”的结构，此处是动词-ing形式作宾语补足语。
For example，in our free time we can sculpt⑧ a sculpture⑨ and paint a painting，but we take a photo．And when we are traveling we say that we are in the car or the taxi，but on the train or bus！[4]While we're doing all this traveling[5]，we can get seasick⑩ at sea，airsick in the air and carsick in a car，but we don't get homesick when we get back home[6]．And speaking of home，why aren't homework and housework the same thing
[4]句中when引导时间状语从句，that引导宾语从句，作say的宾语。
[5]While引导时间状语从句。
[6]when引导时间状语从句。
If “hard” is the opposite of “soft”，why are “hardly” and “softly” not an opposing pair If harmless actions are the opposite of harmful actions，why are shameless and shameful behaviors the same
When we look out of the window and see rain or snow，we can say “it's raining” or “it's snowing”．But when we see sunshine，we can't say “it's sunshining”．
Even the smallest words can be confusing ．When you see the capitalized “WHO” in a medical report，do you read it as the “who” in “Who's that？” What about “IT” and “US”？
You also have to wonder at the unique madness of a language in which a house can burn up as it burns down ，in which you fill in a form by filling it out ，and in which an alarm is only heard once it goes off [7]!
[7]句中三个in which引导的都是定语从句，修饰先行词a language，in which在从句中作地点状语，as it burns down是as引导的时间状语从句，once it goes off是once引导的时间状语从句。
English was invented by people，not computers，and it reflects the creativity of the human race ．That is why when the stars are out，they are visible ，but when the lights are out，they are invisible．[8] And that is why when I wind up my watch，it starts，but when I wind up this passage，it ends．
[8]该句是并列复合句。but连接两个并列分句，第一个并列分句中That is why...为固定句型，意为“那就是……的原因”，其中why引导表语从句；第二个并列分句中when引导时间状语从句。
菠萝≠松树＋苹果
你有没有问过自己，为什么人们常常觉得学英语很困难？我以前从未想过这个问题，直到有一天，我5岁的儿子问我hamburger(汉堡包)里面有没有ham(火腿)。答案是没有。这让我意识到，eggplant(茄子)里面也没有egg(鸡蛋)，而pineapple(菠萝)里既没有pine(松树)，也没有apple(苹果)。这让我陷入思考：对于学习者而言，英语到底可以有多疯狂呢？
例如，闲暇时我们可以雕一座雕像(sculpt a sculpture)、画一幅画(paint a painting)，但只能拍一张照片(take a photo)。旅行时，我们坐汽车或出租车时是说坐在里面(in)，坐火车或公共汽车时却要说坐在上面(on)！同样，我们会在海上晕船(seasick at sea)、在飞机里晕机(airsick in the air)、在车里晕车(carsick in a car)，但回到家里我们却不会“晕家”(homesick，实际意义为“思乡的”)。说到家，为什么homework(家庭作业)和housework(家务)(这两个英语单词看起来很像意思却)不是一回事呢？
如果说hard(硬)是soft(软)的反义词，为什么hardly(几乎不)和softly(柔和地)却不是一对反义词？如果说harmless actions(无害行为)和harmful actions(有害行为)意思相反，为什么shameless behaviors(无耻行为)和shameful behaviors(可耻行为)反而是一回事？
当我们望向窗外，看到雨(rain)或雪(snow)时，我们可以说正在下雨(it's raining)或正在下雪(it's snowing)。可我们看见阳光(sunshine)的时候却不能说“正在下阳光”(it's sunshining)。
就算是最短小的单词都让人费解。如果你在医学报告中看到大写的WHO时，你会把它读成Who's that？中的who吗？那么IT和US又该怎么读呢？
英语这门语言独有的疯狂令你不得不感到惊奇。在英语里，房子烧成灰烬的时候，可以说burn up(字面意思为“烧上去”)，也可以说burn down(字面意思为“烧下去”)；填表的时候，你可以fill in a form(字面意思为“填入表里”)，也可以fill out a form(字面意思为“填到表外”)；而且只有闹钟走了(go off字面意思为“离开”)以后你才能听到铃声！
英语是人创造的，不是计算机发明的，它反映了人类的创造力。这就是为什么stars are out(星星出来了)的时候我们能看到星星，而lights are out(灯灭了)的时候我们却看不到灯光。这也是当我wind up my watch(给手表上紧发条)以后表针开始走，而我wind up this passage(将本文收尾)后这篇文章结束的原因。

如果说hard(硬)是soft(软)的反义词，为什么hardly(几乎不)和softly(柔和地)却不是一对反义词？如果说harmless actions(无害行为)和harmful actions(有害行为)意思相反，为什么shameless behaviors(无耻行为)和shameful behaviors(可耻行为)反而是一回事？
当我们望向窗外，看到雨(rain)或雪(snow)时，我们可以说正在下雨(it's raining)或正在下雪(it's snowing)。可我们看见阳光(sunshine)的时候却不能说“正在下阳光”(it's sunshining)。
