轻松日记商务职场篇第152期:无法告知准确消息

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：
①The boss will come to inspect our work, right?

老板要来视察我们的工作了，是吗?

②Will our boss come back from the business next week?

我们老板是不是下周出差回来啊?

③When will the negotiation be held?

谈判什么时候举行啊?

④It is said that the opening ceremony will be held in two days.

单词：
ceremony n. 仪式
