Перевод:

Английский — сумасшедший язык

У вас есть проблемы с английским? Иногда он кажется слишком сложным или нелогичным? Ричард Ледерер, американский лингвист, пишет много интересных вещей о своём родном языке. Вот некоторые из них.

Давайте посмотрим правде в глаза — английский язык — это сумасшедший язык, самый безумный из всех языков.

В сумасшедшем английском языке доски могут быть зелёными или синими, а ежевика — зелёной, а затем красной и чёрной только в конце.

В баклажане нет яйца, в грейпфруте нет винограда, в грибе нет комнаты, в ананасе нет сосны или яблока, а в гамбургере нет ветчины.

В этом английском языке морская свинка — это не свинья, и она не из Гвинеи.

Язык — это как воздух, которым мы дышим, — мы просто используем его. Но когда мы уделяем время тому, чтобы послушать, что мы говорим, мы обнаруживаем, что хот-доги могут быть холодными, и мы можем делать домашнее задание в школе. Часы — особенно час пик — часто длятся дольше шестидесяти минут, и в большинстве ванных комнат нет ванн, но есть душевые.

Почему король правит королевством, но королева не правит «королевством»?

Если множественное число слова зуб — зубы, то разве множественное число слова стенд не должно быть «стенды»?

Если люди делают оливковое масло, из чего они делают детское масло?

Если жёсткий — противоположность мягкий, то почему едва не является противоположностью мягко? Если безобидные действия противоположны вредоносным действиям, то почему постыдное поведение и бесстыдное поведение одинаковы? Почему дорогие предметы дешевле бесценных?

Почему Солнце, Луна или звёзды погасли, они видны, но когда свет выключен, они невидимы?

А на каком ещё языке может ваш «нос бежать»?

По правде говоря, все языки немного сумасшедшие. Это потому, что языки создают люди, а не компьютеры. Вот почему шесть, семь, восемь и девять превращаются в шестьдесят, семьдесят, восемьдесят и девяносто, но два, три, четыре и пять не превращаются в двадцатку, тридцатку, сорок и пятьдесят. Вот почему мы носим пару брюк, но, за исключением очень холодных дней, не носим пару рубашек. Вот почему, когда я подвожу часы, я их завожу, но, когда я заканчиваю речь или эссе, я их завершаю.

Прочитайте текст и дополните его фразами (a–f).
