032.
A foreign student was studying in an English-speaking country. She was reading a book by the window when she heard someone shout "look out!". She put her head out to see what was going on. Just then a board came flying down from above, missing her head by just a few feet. She pulled her head in quickly. Then out of anger, she carefully put her head out again and looked up. There was a man doing repairs.
"Didn't you hear me shout look out?" he asked.
"Yes, that's what I did," she answered angrily.
This story shows that idioms are an important part of a language. But they can be a problem for a foreign student. Often it is impossible to get the meaning from the words themselves. In this story, the young woman did look out, but "Look out!" as a set phrase has a different meaning. It means "Be careful!". When shouted, it is a cry of warning, meaning "Danger!".
A beginner is often at a loss when he meets many of the idioms for the first time. What does a particular idiom mean? In order to get its meaning, he should look it up in a dictionary. When he first uses such idioms, he is sure to run into a lot of trouble. But he shouldn't give up trying.
