Why does night fall but never break and day break but never fall？Why are people who ride motorcycles called bikers and people who ride bikes called cyclists？In what other language do people drive in a parkway and park in a driveway？In what other language do they call the third hand on the clock the cond hand?
Let's face it：English is a crazy language。There is no egg in an eggplant，neither pine nor apple in a pineapple and no ham in a hamburger。Sweet。meats are candy，while s
weetbreads，which aren’t sweet，are meat。
We take English for granted。But when we explore its paradoxes(探讨它的矛盾)，we find that quicksand can work slowly,boxing rings are square，public bathrooms have no baths in them。
And why is it that a writer writes，but fingers don’t fing，grocers don't groce,and hammers don’t ham？ If the plural of tooth is teeth,shouldn't the plural of booth be beeth？ One goo，two gee—so one moo,two mee？
How can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same，while a wi man and a wi guy are opposites? How can overlook and overe be opposites，while quite a lot and quite a few are alike? How can the weather be hot as hell one day and cold as hell the next？
English was invented by people，not computers，and it reflects the creativity of human beings。That’s why，when 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.
