i【a|国.但是如果我们分析一下英语中似是而非的情况，我们马上就会发现“快的沙子”（quicksand,流沙，也指陷阱，困境）往往走得很慢，“拳击的圆圈”（boxing rin g s,拳击场）是方的，几内亚猪（guinea p ig,天竺鼠）既不是来自儿内亚，也不是猪。And why|is it|that writers write but fingers dont fing.grocers dont groceand hammers dont ham?还有，既然名词作家（writers）去掉词尾的rs就可以成为动词“写作（write）”，那为什么名词手指（fingers）、杂货店（grocers）、锤子（hammers）去掉rs就不能成为各自相对应的动词呢？If the plural of tooth is teeth,why isnt the plural of booth beeth?如果牙齿的熨数是te eth,那为什么售货亭的复数不是beeth?If you have one goose,Iwo geese,why not one moose,Iwo meese,or oneindex,two indices?只鹅我们用go o se,两只鹅用geese,那么，只驼鹿用moose（单复数同形），两只驼鹿就应该是meese

the same,while a wise manand a wise guy are opposites,and quite a lot and quite a few are alike?为什么一个苗条的机会（slim chance,指没机会）和一个肥胖的机会（fat chance,也指没机会）意思是一样的，而一个聪明的人（wise m a n,聪明人）和一个聪明的家伙（wise g u y,自作聪明的人）却意思相反?为什么相当多（quite alot）和相当少（quite a few）意思一样?（实际上quite a lot和quite a few都是相当多的意思。）How can the weather be hot as hell one day and cold as hell another?为什么天气可以热得像地狱也可以冷得像地狱?（as hell字面意思像地狱一样，指非常）7.You have to marvel at the unique lunacy of a language in which yourhouse can bum up as it bums down,in which you fill in a form by filling itout and in which an alarm clock goes off by going on.你不得不对这种精神病一样的语言表示惊奇，在这种语言中，你的房子在被烧卜.去（burnd o w n,意为烧为平地）的同时又被烧上去（bum u p为烧起来,烧掉）。你用填出来（filloul,意为填写）的方法填进去（fill in,意思也是填写）一个表格。闹钟在走（go on）的时候响（go off）了。8.English was invented by people,not computers,and it reflects thecreativity of the human race.英语是人而不是机器创造出来的语言，它反映了人类的创造性。That is why,when the stars are out,they are visible,but when the lights arcout,they are invisible.这也是为什么当星星出来的时候，他们是看得见的，当阳光出来（out）的时候是看不见的。And why,when I wind up my watch,I start it,but when I wind up this essay,lendit?同理,我“处理”我的手表之后，它就开始（走）了；而我“处理”完这篇文章后，它却结束了。2.All I Learned in
