    off the top of one's head直譯過(guò)來(lái)就是:“不在某人的頭頂”,這個(gè)短語(yǔ)的正確意思是:“沒(méi)有經(jīng)過(guò)仔細(xì)考慮或仔細(xì)計(jì)算”。因此,當(dāng)美國(guó)人說(shuō)"I can't tell you the information off the top of my head."時(shí),他/她要表達(dá)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."。
