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. Gently shaking his head and shrugging his
shoulders, he said, "You don"t say!" "You don"t say!" I was puzzled. I thought, perhaps this is not an appropriate
topic."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 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." Only then did I know I had made a fool of myself. Since then I have been more careful with idiomatic
expressions.

Joanne was stuck in a traffic jam in central Birmingham at 5:30, and at 6:30 she was expected to be chairing a meeting of the tennis club. At last, the traffic was moving. She swung quickly racing to her house. As she opened the door, she nearly tripped over Sheba. "Hey, Sheba," she said, "I"ve got no time for you now, but I"ll take you out as soon as I get back from tennis club." Then she noticed Sheba seemed to be coughing or choking. Obviously, she could hardly breathe. Immediately, Joanne realized she would have to take her to the vet (兽医). When she got there, the vet was just about to close for the day. Seeing the state of Sheba, Dr. Sterne brought her quickly into his office. "Listen, doctor, I"m really in a rush to get to a meeting-can I leave her with you, and go and get changed? I"ll be back in ten minutes to pick her up, and then I"ll take her on to the meeting with me. Is that OK?" "Sure," said the doctor. Joanne made the quick trip back to her house in a couple of minutes. As she was once more entering the hallway, the phone by the door began to ring. "This is Dr. Sterne," said an anxious voice. "I want you to get out of.that house immediately," said the doctor"s voice. "I"m coming round right away, and the police will be there any time now. Wait outside!" At that moment, a police car screeched to a stop outside the house. Two policemen got out and ran into the house. Joanne was by now completely confused and very frightened. Then the doctor arrived. "Where"s Sheba? Is she OK?" shouted Joanne. "She"s fine, Joanne. I took out the thing which was choking her, and she"s OK now." Just then, the two policemen reappeared ffom the house, half-carrying a white-faced man, who could hardly walk. There was blood all over him. "My God," said Joanne, "how did he get in there? And how did you know he was there?" "I think he must be a burglar," said the doctor. "I knew he was there because when I finally removed what was stuck in Sheba"s throat; it turned out to be three human fingers." | |||||||||||||||||||||
