Three Frenchmen were sitting together to talk about their experiences in England．The first said, “I once heard someone shout, ‘Look out!’” I put my head out of a window and a bucketful（一桶）of water fell on me. It seems that ‘Look out’ may mean ‘don’t look out.’”

The second said, “I was once on a ship and heard the captain shout, ‘All hands on deck（甲板）!’ I put my hands on the deck and someone walked on them. ”

Here is the third Frenchman’s story. He once called early on an English friend and the maid who came to the door said, “He’s not up yet. Come back in half an hour. ” When the third visited again for his friend, she said, “He’s not down yet.” The third said, “If he’s not up and he’s not down, where is he?” The maid said, “He’s not up’, it means he has not got up. And when I say ‘He’s not down yet’, it means he has not yet come downstairs. ”
