[交流] 【English in a Minute一分钟英语】46-Off The Top Of My Head 已有7人参与

Welcome to English in a Minute, where we teach you about idioms in American English.

What would you think if you heard this: Off the top of my head.

There is nothing on her head. But let's see if we can find out what she means.

A: Do you know Tom's email address?
B: I couldn't tell you off the top of my head, but I have it in my contacts list on my computer. Can I send it to you later?
A: Sure. That would be great. Thanks.

"Off the top of my head" is a common phrase that means I am trying to remember something, and to give you a quick answer. But if a person's memory is bad, sometimes the information off the top of someone's head is wrong. So it's best to confirm it.

And that's English in a Minute.

不理解,求解释?

off the top my head means I can't tell you the answer in a second. just coz I don't remember that clearly. If I have to, that would be a worng answer. In the other situation, it also means I can tell you the answer rught away, just off the top my head.

VOA英语,一分钟英语, 俗语俚语部分。 这个短句的意思指的就是,比如某人突然问我一个事情,我一下子记不起来了,不能马上就回答给你一个准确的答案。  就是I could't tell off the top my head.   但是也可以表示,比如某人问我一件事,由于我很记的很清楚,就是off the top of my head, ......
