海南话翻译-孤标傲世
English is the most widely used language in the history of our planet. One in every seven human beings can speak it. More than half of the world’s books and three quarters of international mail are in English. Of all languages, English has the largest vocabulary — perhaps as many as two million words.
However, 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 sweetbreads, 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 goose, two geese — so one moose, two meese?
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 the weather be hot as hell one day and cold as hell the next?
English was invented by people, not computers, and it reflects (反映) the creativity of human beings. That’s why, when stars are out, they are visible (能看见的); 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.
71. According to the passage ______.
A. sweet-meats and sweetbreads are different things
B. there should be egg in an eggplant
C. pineapples are the apples on the pine tree
D. boxing rings should be round
72. Which of the following is the correct plural?
A. Beeth. B. Geese. C. Meese. D. Tooth.
73. Which of the following includes two items which have the similar meaning?
A. A wise man and a wise guy.
B. Overlook and oversee.
C. Quite a lot and quite a few.
D. Hot as hell and cold as hell.
74. The underlined words “wind up” in the last paragraph probably mean “______”.
A. blow B. roll up C. get hurt D. finish
75. Through the many paradoxes in the English language, the writer wants to show that human beings are ______.
A. clever B. crazy C. lazy D. dull

英语是使用最广泛的语言的历史我们的星球。每七人类能够说出来。世界上超过一半的书和四分之三的国际邮件都是英文的。所有的语言,英语拥有最大的词汇量-也许多达二百万个单词。
然而,“让我们面对这个问题:英语是一个疯狂的语言。里没有鸡蛋,茄子,也在松树和苹果菠萝和火腿中没有一个汉堡包。Sweet-meats是糖果,而牛,不甜,是肉。
我们把英语视为理所当然。但当我们探索它的似是而非的说法(探讨它的矛盾),我们发现流
沙可以工作缓慢,拳击环广场、公共浴室没有洗澡。
为什么它,一个作家写的,手指没有发现,不groce营销,锤子不要火腿?如果”这个词的复数形式的牙齿是牙齿,不应该”这个词的复数形式是beeth展位吗?一只鹅,两只鹅,所以一个驼鹿,两米吗?
如何能再有机会渺茫,是相同的,而一个聪明的男人和一个聪明人是一对反义词吗?怎么能俯瞰并监督是对立的,而很多也有不少是一样的吗?怎样天气热得像地狱的一天,天气冷得像地狱呢?
英语发明的人,而不是电脑,它反映了(反映)创造力人类。这就是为什么,当明星,他们是可见的(能看见的);但灯灭的时候,他们是无形的。为什么,当我结束我的手表,我开始;但当我结束这篇文章,我结束它。
