English is now the first language of about 400 million people, the mother language of 12 countries and the official language of thirty-three more countries. That means one in every seven people in the world speaks English.English has become the new Latin(拉丁语) of the century. One must know English is a part of the twenty-first century. In Italy, for example, English is a must for many technical (技术的) jobs. In China, English is the most important foreign language learned at school.
Now no other language on the earth is better suited to play the role of the world language. Because English is easier to learn than any other language, and it easily borrows local words and phrases from other countries to expand(丰富，扩大) its vocabulary.
English is so widely used that it has become the standard language for all kinds of international communication. Now 75% of the world’s mail is in English. 60% of the world’s telephone calls are made in English. 60% of the world’s radio stations are broadcast(广播) in English and over half of the world’s books and magazines are written in English.

One day, I happened to meet an Englishman in the street 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!”“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,“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(习惯用语).”
Wow! How foolish I was! Since then I have been careful with English idioms.
