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(迷惑的), 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 the wonders in the world. And people of many countries have come to visit." As I went on telling him more about it, he stopped me again, "You don't say!"

I couldn't help(禁不住) asking ,"Why do you ask me not to talk about it?"

"Well, I didn't ask you to do so," he answered, greatly surprised.

"Didn't 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 idiom(习语)."
