have a lignt bulb go off in the head
What does this phrase mean?
It's a metaphor.Head here refers to the human brain.The entire sentence is as following:
When they said little things,I could raise an eyebrow or have a light bulb go off.
have a lignt bulb go off in the head
go off (电灯)熄灭
light bulb( 不是lignt) 就是电灯泡
in the head 在顶端
have sth.do 就是让..做什么
这里的意思是:将顶端的电灯泡熄灭
嗯,如果是隐喻,意译就是:对什么事不在意或漫不经心的样子(关掉脑中警惕的那盏灯)
