One day,I happened to meet an Englishman in the street,and soon we began to talk. As I was talking about how I was studying English,the foreigner seemed to be very surprised. He gently shook his head and said，“You don’t say! You don’t say!” I was puzzled(困惑的）and thought, “Perhaps this is not a right thing to talk about. ” So I said to him, “Well，shall we talk about the Great Wall? Have you ever been there?” u Certainly,everyone back home will laugh at me if I leave here without seeing it. The Great Wall is wonderful!” “Yes,it is one of the wonders in the world. And people of many countries have come to visit it. ” As I went on telling him more about it,he stopped me again, “You don’t say!”
I couldn’t help asking, “Why do you ask me not to talk about it?”“Well,I didn’t ask you to do so,” he answered,greatly surprised.
“Didn’t you say ‘You don’t say’ ？” I asked again.
Hearing this,the foreigner laughed loudly. He began to explain, “'You don’t say means ‘Really’. Perhaps you know little about English idioms(惯用语）. ” Wow!How foolish I was!Since then I have been careful with English idioms.
