English,the foreigner seemed to be very surprised,gently shaking his head and saying,“You don’t say!” I was puzzled(困惑的),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 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,“Whydo 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 idioms(惯用语).”
Wow!How foolish I was!Since then I have been careful with English idioms.

Once upon a time,there lived a teacher in a small town.He often taught his students in special ways.Once he sent four of his students to go to a small farm to see apple trees in different seasons.The first student went in winter,the second in spring,the third in summer,and the last in autumn.
After the four students came back,the teacher called them
together.They pictured(描述) their feelings to the teacher.The first student said that there were no leaves on the trees.It made him very disappointed.The second student said his eyes were full of light
green.It made him feel hopeful.The third one disagreed.“What are you talking about?How pretty the trees were!The sweet smell of the beautiful flowers spread here and there.” The last one shook his head.He only saw a lot of apples on the beautiful trees.
The teacher smiled and told his students none of them were
wrong.They each just saw one season.Hecontinued,“The trees are not the same in different seasons.You can’t judge(判断) a tree by only one season.Don’t let the regret of one season destroy the beauty of the rest.”
Everything has different sides in our life.Don’t hurry to make a conclusion(结论) before seeing the whole of it.
