这句如何翻译
谢谢
举例说明：I can't think of any good example off the top of my head.
就是说：我不能想到任何好的例子。
Off the top of one's head 只是单纯的熟语式的用法，不是说什么“头等要事”。要翻译，也只能是：“我脑海里”、“我的记忆里”等等。
答：
Off（你错字了） the top of one's head是美国人经常用的一个习惯用语。它的意思 是：没有经过仔细考虑或仔细计算。
do sth.off the top of one's head. 毫无准备地干什么事情

不是of the top of one's head
而应该是：
off the top of one's head
means:
Without much thought or calculation
From Ansears.com:

In an impromptu way, without much thought, as in Off the top of my head I'd say we'll double our profits in a year. This idiom suggests one has not used the inside of one's head before making some statement. [Mid-1900s]
意思是，（表示说话）没有经过更多的思考和考虑（武断；或脱口而出；或即兴）
在某某心头的一件事
一个头的顶端"
一件头等大事
