1 Have you ever asked yourself why people often have trouble learning English
I hadn’t, until one day my five-year-old son asked me whether there was ham in a
hamburger. There isn’t. This made me realize that there’s no egg in eggplant either.
Neither is there pine nor apple in pineapple. This got me thinking how English can be a
crazy language to learn.
2 For example, in our free time we can sculpt a sculpture 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! While we’re doing all this traveling, we can get seasick at sea, airsick
in the air and carsick in a car, but we don’t get homesick when we get back home. And
speaking of home, why aren’t homework and housework the same thing
3 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
你有没有问过你自己
为什么人们产常常觉得学习英语有困难
我没有
直到有一天我五岁的侄儿问我
汉堡包里面有没有火腿
答案是没有
这让我意识到茄子里面也没有鸡蛋
而菠萝里面既没有松树也没有苹果
这让我陷入思考
对学习者而言
英语到底可以由多疯狂
例如
闲暇时我们可以雕一座雕像
画一幅画
但只能拍一张照片。
我们旅行时坐汽车或出租车时是说坐在里面
坐火车或公共汽车时却要说坐在上面
同样，旅行时，
我们会在海上晕船
在飞机里晕机，在车里晕车
但回到家里却不会晕家（因为homesick的意思是想家的
说到家
为什么家庭作业和家务不是一回事呢
如果说hard(硬）是soft（软）的反义词
为什么hardly(几乎不）和softly(柔和的）却不是一对反义词呢
如果说harmless actions（无害行为）和harmful actions（无害行为）意思相反
为什么shameless behaviors无耻行为和可耻行为shameful behaviors反而是一会是呢
4When 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".
5Even 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"
6You 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!
7English 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. And that is why when
I wind up my watch, it starts, but when I wind up this passage, it ends.
当我们看向窗外，看到雨或者雪时，
我们会说，it's raining正在下雨或者it's snowing正在下雪
我们看到sunshine太阳时 却不能说it's sunshining正在下阳光
就算是最小的单词
也让人费解
如果你在一篇医学报告中看到大写的WHO
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不得不让你感到惊奇
在英语里
房子烧成灰烬的时候，可以说burn up(燃烧上去)
也可以说burn down
填表格时，你可以fill in a form(字面意思填入表里）也可以fill out a form（填到表外)
（烧下去）
而且只有闹钟走了以后才可以听到铃声
英语是人创造的 不是计算机发明的
它反映了人的创造力
这就是为什么
当stars are out（星星出来）的时候我们能看到星星
而lights are out（灯灭了）的时候我们看不见灯光
但当我给
手表上紧发条
它开始走
但当我将本文收尾
