We use this expression "you're telling me" to show that you completely agree with what another person has said. "You're telling me" is a way really of saying you don't need to tell me. It's obviously true, or I already know that because I have personal experience with that.
"You're telling me." 字面上是「你正在告訴我」，其實是想表達「我完全同意你說的」。其言下之意是「就算你不說我也知道，因為事實就擺在眼前」，或是「我有這方面的經驗，這還需要你來告訴我嗎？」
情境例句：
A: Houses are expensive in Canada.
B: You're telling me! Yeah, they're so expensive.
A: 加拿大的房子好貴啊。
B: 這還用你說！對啊，超貴的。
換句話說：
I agree with you. (我同意。)
That is so true. (說得太對了。)
Tell me about it. (可不是嘛！)
You can say that again. (你說得對；一點也沒錯。)
