Passage Three

　　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 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(惊讶). Gently shaking his head，shrugging（耸）his shoulders, he said，"You don't say!" "You don't say!" I was puzzled（疑惑不解）. I thought , perhaps this is not an appropriate（适当的）topic. "Well, I'd 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(打断) again by his words: "You don't say!" I couldn't help asking, "Why do you ask me not to talk about it?" "Well, I didn't request you to do so," he answered, greatly surprised. I said, "Didn't you say'you don't say'？" Hearing this, the Englishman laughed to tears. He began to explain " 'You don't say' actually means 'really!' It is an expression of surprise. Perhaps you don't pay attention to English idioms." I realized I had made a fool of myself. Since then I have been more careful with idiomatic expressions. Remember: what the English teachers said is always right to us students.
