A year ago，I paid no attention to English idioms（习语），though my teacher mentioned the importance again and again．But soon，the importance of English idioms was shown in a funny experience．

One day，I happened（碰巧）to meet an Englishman on the road with his friend，and soon we began to talk．As l was talking about how l was studying English，the foreigner seemed to be surprised，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 was not a right topic．So I'd better change the topic．I said to him， “Well，shall we talk about the Great Wall? By the way，have you ever been there?” “Certainly．everyone will laugh at me if I leave China without seeing it．It is fantastic．” 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（打断）again by his order “You don’t say!”．I couldn’t help（忍不住）asking，“Why do you ask me not to talk about it?” “Well，I didn’t ask you to do so，” he answered in surprise．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．” I knew I hadn't understood him．Since then I have been more careful with idiomatic expressions．

A man walked into a doctor’s examing room. “Put out your tongue,” the doctor said.

 “OK. You can put your tongue back now,” the doctor said. “It’s clear what’s wrong with you. You need more exercise.” “But, doctor,” the man said. “I don’t think...”

“Don’t tell me what you think,” the doctor said,“ I am the doctor, not you. I know what you need. I see hundreds of people like you. None of them get any exercise. They sit in offices all day and in front of the television in the evening. What you need is to walk quickly for at least 20 minutes a day.”

“Doctor, you don’t understand,” the patient said, “I...”

“I don’t want to hear any excuses,” the doctor said, “You must find time for exercise. If you don’t, you will get fat and have health problems when you are older.”

“But I walk every day,” the patient said.

“Oh, yes, and I know what kind of walking that is. You walk a few meters to the train station from your house, a few more meters from the station to your office, and a few more meters from your office to a restaurant for lunch and back.”

“Please listen to me, doctor!” the patient shouted, getting angry.

“I'm a mailman,” the patient went on, “and I walk for seven hours every day.”

For a moment the doctor was silent, then he said quietly, “Put your tongue out again, will you?”
