简单查了一下,这个表达方式来自william schwenk gilbert著的短篇小说《angela》,原文是from that day, and ever after during my three weeks of bed-keeping, a flower was found every morning on the ledge of my window, which was within easy reach of anyone in a boat; and when at last a day came when i could be moved, i took my accustomed place on my sofa at the window, and the little maid saw me, and stood on her head (so to speak) and clapped her hands upside down with a delight that was as eloquent as my right-end-up delight could be.这里right-end-up和right-side-up一个意思,指的是“头朝上”:那个女孩在水里的倒影是头朝下,而这个男人正常坐在那里,他是头朝上的。 20210311
