有一天,我碰巧遇到一个英国人在街上,很快我们开始交谈.正如我说的是我是如何学习英语,外国人似乎很奇怪,轻轻地摇摇头,说:“你不说!”我很诧异,我想,“也许,这是不对的话题.”因此,我对他说:“好吧,我们应谈谈长城?你去过吗?”
“当然!每个人回家会笑我,如果我离开这里看到它.长城是太好了!” “是的,它是世界的奇迹之一.和许多国家的人民都来参观.”正如我在告诉他更多关于它走哪儿,他又拦住了我,“你不说!”
我忍不住问:“你问我为什么不谈谈呢?”
“嗯,我没有要求你这样做,”他回答,十分惊讶.
“你说'你不说!”我又问.
听到这里,外国人大声笑了起来.他开始解释,“'你不说!意思是'真的'.或许你不了解英语成语.“
哇!我是多么愚蠢!从那以后我一直在与英语成语小心.

One day I happened to meet an Englishman in the street and soon we began to talk.As I was talking about how I was studying English,the foreigner seemed to be very surprised,gently shaking his head and saying "You don't say!" I was puzzled,and I thought,"Perhaps this is not a right thing to talk about." So I said to him,"Well,shall we talk about the Great Wall?Have you ever been there?"
"Certainly!Everyone back home will laugh at me if I leave here without seeing it.The Great Wall is wonderful!" "Yes,it is one of the wonders in the world.And people of many countries have come to visit it." As I went on telling him more about it,he stopped me again,"You don't say!"
I couldn't help asking,"Why do you ask me not to talk about it?"
"Well,I didn't ask you to do so," he answered,greatly surprised.
"Did you say 'You don't say!" I asked again.
Hearing this,the foreigner laughed loudly.He began to explain,"'You don't say!' means 'Really'.Perhaps you know little about English idioms."
Wow!How foolish I was!Since then I have been careful with English idioms.
