One day, I happened to meet an Englishman in a store 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! 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.When I'm back home, everyone will laugh at me if I leave here without seeing it.The Great Wall is wonderful！” he answered.

“Yes, it is one of the wonders in the world.And people from all over the world have come to visit it，” I added.As I was telling him more about it, he said 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.

“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 (習(xí)慣用語)．”

Wow! How foolish I was! Since then I have been careful with English idioms.

Dream culture is an important part of ancient Chinese culture.Dream interpreting is popular in China，and the most famous reference for dream interpreting is the book Duke of Zhou Interprets Dreams.

Ancient Chinese people thought that dreams could suggest lucky and unlucky things.Since different dreams have different meanings，people can get meanings of good or bad luck by interpreting them.Actually，dream interpreting is not totally a superstition.It does have some scientific value.

★Dreams are the reflection of the facts.Many dreams are actually something about what happened in the daytime.This kind of dream can be easily understood without dream interpreting.

★Dreams are the body's self－implication.Traditional Chinese medical science says that dreams are connected with the health condition of humans' bodies.When Yin and Yang are imbalanced，dreams come into being.If someone dreamt that he or she was roasted by a big fire，it shows he or she might easily get angry or nervous.

★Dreams are usually different from the facts.It means that things will develop in the opposite direction when they become worse.
