※ 引述《paulchi (paul)》之銘言：
: 個人不認為 It is raining soon. 是好英文，但是從「同情的了解」角度
: 出發，能夠解出語意。
: 我相信tijj大到處詢問的高人們，也都是從這個角度來看待這個句子的。
: 因此如果將我上一帖編出的對話，拿去給英文母語人士看，我賭一塊錢，大多數會說
: 還過得去 (重點，不是正確，而是「還過得去」)，
: 尤其美國南方的鄉巴佬，要講文法規則，他們肯定輸給板上的各位賢達。
: 我比較好奇的是，大家的英文如果都這麼好，幹嘛不用英文來吵？
: 我起了頭，沒人要跟，很沒勁。
我有跟呀~ 問篇如果是純英文我回時都會回英文。
: xxx
: 語言是不斷演化的，
: 所以： You had better -> You better 這種variation，只要用得人多，
: 就會有編寫文法書的人，把它寫進去，
: 書印出來後，就會成為...成為...成為遠東小島國上的國民，捧著當作
: 聖經一樣，引經據典數落誰誰誰的英文不好、不夠道地、不夠正確的圭臬。
: Language is a tool through which we express our thoughts. The great
: comedian George Carlin once said that we do think in language, so the
: quality of our thoughts can only be as good as the quality of our
: language.
: You may think that the idea derived from the above statement justifies
: this lengthy debate over the validity of the expression in question.
: The hell it doesn't.
You realise this expression means "it does," right?
A: Theory 1 is correct.
B: Theory 1 is incorrect because it doesn't take into account Y.
A: The hell it doesn't. Y is taken care of in a corollary.

: Fucking Carlin would be laughing in his grave knowing people on a far
: east island with adequate English proficiency have been so hung up
: on such trivial grammtical crap while what they really should be doing
: is have meaningful discussion on matters that actually CONCERN THEM,
: like cross-strait politics and economics, the Euro debt crisis,
: the environment and green energy and whatnot, because THAT would be
: great exercise to put their language skills to test - force themselves
: to THINK in English.
Carlin is funny but I wouldn't let a funny old man dictate what I like
to discuss. I discuss many of those things you mentioned - and yes, in
English - just not here. Doing that here would be off-topic.
And since I like to discuss many things with many different people, I believe
it's important to master grammar, so that I can think and write precisely.
: But hell no.
: We don't do that.
I find your assumption about the rest of us insulting.
: We have to dig deep and find out if 'it is raining soon'
: is grammatically correct.
: Pathetic. All of us.
I'd say 'dedicated' :)
