A year ago, I paid no attention to English idioms, though my teacher emphasized (强调) the importance again and again. But soon, the importance of English idioms was shown 46 an amusing experience.
One day, I 47 to meet an Englishman on the road, and soon we began to talk. As I 48 about how I was studying English, the foreigner seemed to be 49 . Gently shaking his head, shrugging his shoulders, he said, “You don’t say!” “You don’t say!” I was puzzled. I thought, perhaps this is not a proper topic. “Well, 50 change the topic.” So I said to him. “Well, 51 we talk about the Great Wall? 52 the way, have you ever 53 there?” “Certainly, everyone back home will laugh at me if I leave China without seeing 54 . It was magnificent.” He was 55 in thought when I began to talk 56 a tourist guide. “The Great Wall is one of the wonders in the world. We are very 57 of it.”
Soon I was interrupted again by his words: “You don’t say!” I couldn’t help but 58 , “Why do you ask me not to talk about it?” “Well, I didn’t request you to do 59 , ” he answered, 60 surprised. I said, “Didn’t you say ‘You don’t say!’?” 61 this, the Englishman laughed to tears. He began to 62 , “ ‘You don’t say’ actually means ‘really!’ It is an 63 of surprise. Perhaps you don’t pay attention to English idioms.” 64 then did I know I had made a fool of 65 . Since then I have been more careful with idiomatic expressions.
