But soon, the importance of English idioms was shown in an amusing experience. One day, I happened to meet an Englishman on the road, and soon we began to talk. As I was talking about how I was studying English, the foreigner seemed to be astonished. Gently shaking his head, shrugging his shoulders, he said, “You dont say!” “You dont say!” I was puzzled. I thought, perhaps this is not an appropriate topic(适当的话题). “Well, Id better change the topic.” So I said to him. “Well, shall we talk about the Great Wall? By the way, have you ever been there?” “Certainly, everyone back home will laugh at me if I leave China without seeing it. It was magnificent.” He was deep in thought when I began to talk like a tourist guide. “The Great Wall is one of the wonders in the world. We are very proud of it.” Soon I was interrupted again by his words：“You dont say!” I couldnt help asking, “Why do you ask me not to talk about it?” “Well, I didnt request you to do so, ” he answered, greatly surprised. I said, “Didnt you say you dont say?” Hearing this, the Englishman laughed to tears. He began to explain, You dont say actually means really! It is an expression of surprise. Perhaps you dont pay attention to English idioms.” Only then did I know I had made a fool of myself. Since then I have been more careful with idiomatic expressions.
