  3. Learning of German “Surely there is not another language that is so slipshod (небрежный) and systemless, and so slippery and elusive (неуловимый) to the grasp(быстрое схватывание, понимание). One is washed about in it, hither and thither(туда и сюда), in the most helpless way; and when at last he thinks he has captured a rule which offers firm ground to take a rest on amid (посреди, между) the general rage and turmoil(беспорядок) of the ten parts of speech, he turns over the page and reads, "Let the pupil make careful note of the following exceptions." He runs his eye down and finds that there are more exceptions to the rule than instances (случаев,примеров)of it”

  4. Das Madchen und derKurbis A girl (neuter) and a turnip (masculine) “In German, a young lady has no sex, while a turnip has. Think what overwrought reverence (подчёркнутое уважение) that shows for the turnip, and what callous (бессердечный, грубый)disrespect for the girl”.
