Second F:I was once on a ship and heard the captain shout,"All hands on deck." I put my hands on the deck and someone walked on them..

第三个法国人说：我有一次在早晨探访一位英国朋友.女仆开的门,说,“他还没起来呢(not up yet).半小时再来.”当我又一次来探访他时,她说,“他还没下来(not down yet).”我说,“如果他即不在上(up)也不在下(down),那他到底在哪里?”她答,“还在床上.我说"He's not Up"的时候我是说他还没起床,所以他还没下楼来.”
这些短语在文中是什么意思?

第一个法国人:有依次我听见某人叫到:"小心".我把头伸出窗外然后一盆水淋到我头上.好象:"小心"的意思是"别往外看"(英语里小心与往外看的写法一致)

第3个法国人说:一次我很早的时候去叫一个英国朋友,他的佣人走到门前说:"他还没起来.一个半小时后再来."当我一个半小时后再去时,佣人说:"他还没有下来.我说:他没在上面也没在下面,那他在什么地方?"(这里他把佣人的话理解错了)佣人说:"他还在床上.当我说He's not up的意思是他还没有起床.所以他还没有下楼来.
