Rita: Do you think you passed the math test? Grace: I don't think so. Rita: Oh, it was so easy. Why didn't you do well on it? Grace: Don't be so rude. I'm not good at math. Answers to these questions don't just pop into my head. Rita: I'm sorry. Grace: That's OK. But, maybe you can help me get an A next time. Rita: Come on, Grace. I can tutor you, but I'm not a miracle worker.
pop 一字有『突然出現』的意思，所以 pop into one's head 字面上意思為『突然出現在某人的頭裡面』，引申為『靈光一現』、『突然有某個想法』之意。
The idea popped into my head / mind while I was in the washroom.
= The idea came to mind while I was in the washroom.
= The idea sprang to mind while I was in the washroom.
（我在洗手間時突然想到了那個主意。）
與 head 有關的俚語通常都與『思考』有關，例如 keep one's head（保持冷靜）及 lose one's head（失去理智）。
小雄對小琪一見傾心，於是瘋狂展開追求。可是愛情令人盲目，小琪的許多缺點阿雄都視若無睹，簡直把她當作女神般對待。他的朋友芬妮見狀便勸他：
I know she is beautiful, but you have to keep your head. Don't lose your head.
= I know she is beautiful, but you have to calm down. Don't go crazy.
（我知道她很美，但是你必須保持冷靜。不要失去理智。）
小雄誠為世間稀有的癡情男，他對小琪的感情可以用以下的俚語來形容
be head over heels in love 愛到神魂顛倒
heel n. 腳跟
He is head over heels in love with her.
（他愛她愛到神魂顛倒。）
bury one's head in the sand的字面意義為『將某人的頭埋在沙子裡』，也就是指『逃避現實』。
小雄長相平平，沒有特別出眾的才華與魅力，讓人覺得可能配不上美麗的小琪。所以我們就可以說：
He should stop burying his head in the sand. She will never go out with him.
= He shouldrecognize the truth. She will never go out with him.
（他應該要面對現實。她不會跟他約會的。）
＊recognize vt. 承認；認出
