　　Let’s face it－English is a crazy language．There is no egg in eggplant(茄子)nor ham in hamburger; Neither apple nor pine in pineapple．English muffins(松饼)weren’t invented in England or French fries in France．Sweetmeats are candies while sweetbreads, which aren’t sweet, are meat．

　　We take English for granted．But if we explore its paradox(似是而非的说法), we find that quicksand(流沙)can work slowly, boxing rings are square and guinea pig is neither from Guinea nor is a pig．

　　If teachers taught, why didn’t preachers praught?If a vegetarian eats vegetables, what does a humanitarian eat?

　　How can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same, while a wise man and a wise guy are opposites?How can overlook and oversee be opposites, while quite a lot and quite a few are alike?How can a person be“pretty ugly”?

　　You have to marvel at the unique lunacy(荒谬)of a language in which your house can burn up as it burns down, in which you fill in a form by filling it out and in which an alarm clock goes off by going on．Why is a“crazy man”an insult(侮辱), while to insert a comma and say“crazy, man”is a compliment(as when clapping for a Jazz performance)．

　　English was invented by people, not computers, and it reflects the creativity of the human race(which, of course, isn’t a race at all)．That is why, when the stars are out, they are visible, but when the lights are out, they are invisible．And why, when I wind up my watch, I start it, but when I wind up this essay, I end it．
