| A year ago. I paid no attention to English idioms, though my teacher emphasized (强调) the importance again and again. But soon, the importance of English idioms was shown in an amusing experience. One day, I happened to meet an Englishman on the road, and soon we began to talk. As I was talking about how I was studying English, the foreigner seemed to be astonished. Gently shaking his head, shrugging his shoulders, he said, "You don"t say!" "You don"t say!" I was puzzled. I thought, perhaps this is not a proper topic "Well, I"d better change the topic," so I said to him, "Well, shall we talk about the Great Wall? 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 magnificent." 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 again by his words "You don"t say!" I couldn"t help asking, "Why do you ask me not to talk about it?""Well, I didn"t request you to do so," he answered, greatly surprised. 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." Only then did I know I had made a fool of myself. Since then I have been more careful with idiomatic expressions. Remember: what the English teachers said to us students is always right. | ||||||||||||||

| Every year on my birthday, from the time I turned 12, a white gardenia was delivered to my house. No card came with it. Calls to the flower-shop were not helpful at all. After a while I stopped trying to discover the sender"s name and just delighted in the beautiful white flower in soft pink paper. But I never stopped imagining who the giver might be. Some of my happiest moments were spent daydreaming about the sender. My mother encouraged these imaginings. She"d ask me if there was someone for whom I had done a special kindness. Perhaps is was the old man across the street whose mail I"d delivered during the winter. As a girl, though, I had more fun imagining that it might be a boy I had run into. One month before my graduation, my father died. I felt so sad that I became completely uninterested in my upcoming graduation dance, and I didn"t care if I had a new dress or not. But my mother, in the own sadness, would not let me miss any of those things. She wanted her children to feel loved and lovable. In truth, my mother wanted her children to see themselves much like the gardenia-lovely, strong and perfect with perhaps a bit of mystery (神秘). My mother died ten days after I was married. I was 22. That was the year the gardenia stopped coming. | ||||||||||||||
