A year ago, I paid no attention to English idioms(习语), though my teacher emphasized the importance again and again. But soon, the importance of English idioms was shown 41 an amusing experience.
One day, I 42 to meet an English man on the road, and soon we began to talk. As I 43 about how I was studying English, the foreigner seemed to be 44 , gently shaking his head, shrugging (耸一耸) his shoulders, saying, “You don't say!” “You don't say!” I was puzzled. I thought, perhaps this is not an proper topic. Well, I'd 45 change the topic. So I said to him. “Well. 46 we talk about the Great Wall? 47 the way, have you ever 48 there?” “Certainly , everyone back home will laugh at me if I leave China without seeing 49 . It was magnificent.” He was 50 in thought when I began to talk 51 a tourist guide, “The Great Wall is one of the wonders in the world. We are very 52 of it.” Soon I was interrupted again by his order... “You don't say!” I couldn't help asking, “Why do you ask me 53 about it”? “Well, I didn't request you to do 54 ,” he answered, greatly 55 . I said, “Didn't you say 'you don't say'?” 56 this, the Englishman laughed to tears. He began to 57 , “ 'You don't say' actually means 'really?' It is an 58 of surprise. Perhaps you don't pay attention to English idioms.” 59 then did I know I have made a fool of 60 . Since then I have been more careful with idiomatic expressions.
