核心句型:
I can't tell you the information off the top of my head.
我没办法立刻告诉你准确消息。
off the top of one's head直译过来就是:“不在某人的头顶”,这个短语的正确意思是:“没有经过仔细考虑或仔细计算”。因此,当美国人说"I can't tell you the information off the top of my head."时,他/她要表达的意思就是:"I can't tell you the exact information because I don't know whether the news is true or not."、"I can't tell you the information because I can't make it for sure right now."。
情景对白:
Terry: Someone says that we will be sent to Japan for business next Friday, and we will stay there for a week. I s that true?
泰瑞:据说我们下周五将被派到日本出差,还会在那儿待上一周,是真的吗?
Benjamin: I can't tell you the information off the top of my head. I'll have to check it.
本杰明:我没办法立刻告诉你准确消息,我得核实一下。
搭配句积累:
