By the way, have you ever been there?” “Certainly, everyone back home will laugh at me if I leave China without seeing it. It was wonderful.” 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 words: “You dont say!” I couldnt help asking, “Why do you ask me not to talk about it?” “Well, I didnt ask you to do so,” he answered, greatly surprised. I said, “Didnt you say you dont say？” Hearing this, the Englishman laughed to tears. He began to explain, “ You dont say actually means really! It is an expression of surprise.
