I can't top that! ( 我胜不了) I can't top that 这句口语跟I can't beat that的用法是一样的。top是在最上面的意思。I can't top that.照字面意思理解是我不能达到最上面,也就是某件事已经是最好的了,你不可能做得更好了。

每日一句:
It's your turn to tell a story. (今天轮到你讲一个故事了。) 平常对话中,我们常会提到“轮到你去做某事了”,这句话的句型就是It's you turn在加 该去做的事。 For example: It's your turn to pay. (轮到你付钱了。) It's your turn to drive. (轮到你开车了。)
