First Frenchman：I once heard someone shout, "Look out," I put my head out of a window and a basin(盆)of water fell on me．It seems that "Look out" may mean "don‘t look out．"
Second Frenchman：Once I was on a ship and heard the captain(船长)shout, "All hands on deck," I put my hands on the deck and someone walked on them．
Third Frenchman：I once visited an English friend early in the morning and the maid who came to the door and said, "He’s not up yet．Come back in half an hour," When I went again for him, she said, "He‘s not down yet．"
"If he’s not up and he’s not down, where is he?" I asked．
She said, "He’s still in bed．When I say ‘He’s not up ’ I mean ‘he has not yet got up’．When I say ‘He’s not down ’ I mean ‘he has not yet come downstairs,’"
