오늘의 영어 표현Off the top of my head / Off, O F F / the T H E / top T O P / of / my M Y / head H E A D/ Off the top of my head 입니다. Off the top of my head 은 ‘빠르게 대답하기 위해서 지금 막 생각해내는 중이야’라고 말하고 싶을 때 쓸 수 있는 표현입니다. "Off the top of my head." is common phrase that means I am trying to remember something, and to give you a quick answer. 그런데 만약 기억력이 별로 좋지 않다면 곧바로 머릿속에 떠오르는 정보가 틀릴 수도 있겠죠? But if a person's memory is bad, sometimes the information off the top of someone's head can be wrong. 다시 말해 ‘Off the top of my head’라는 말은 ‘즉석에서, 지금 당장 떠오르는 생각으로는’이라는 뜻으로, ‘금방 떠오른 생각이기 때문에 옳은 정보가 아닐 수도 있다’라는 의미를 포함하고 있습니다.
