Over-the-top describes remarks or behaviour that go so far they seem silly, fake, rude or just too much — thanks so huge they sound empty, anger so big it looks like a show, clothes or film effects so loud they stop being fun. It is informal. British speakers often shorten it to OTT. You can say the speech was over-the-top, or that someone went over the top.

Over-the-top describes remarks or behaviour Over-the-top用來形容言語或行為 that go so far誇張到一個程度 they seem silly, fake, rude or just too much讓人覺得很蠢、很假、很沒禮貌，或就是太過頭——thanks so huge they sound empty像誇張到聽起來很空洞的感謝、anger so big it looks like a show大到像在演戲的憤怒、clothes or film effects so loud they stop being fun誇張到不再有趣的服裝或電影特效。It is informal這是個非正式用語，British speakers often shorten it to OTT英國人常把它簡稱為OTT。You can say你可以說 the speech was over-the-top這場演講太over-the-top了，or that someone went over the top或說某人went over the top（太超過了）。

Though actually, the phrase had a harder life first: in the First World War, to go over the top was to climb out of the trench and run toward the enemy — a terrible, extreme act. The everyday meaning kept the picture of going past a sensible line, even though most people who say it now are not thinking of the war at all.

Though actually不過事實上，the phrase had a harder life first這個說法一開始的來歷更沉重：in the First World War在第一次世界大戰裡，to go over the top was to climb out of the trench「go over the top」指的是爬出戰壕 and run toward the enemy衝向敵人——a terrible, extreme act是一種可怕又極端的行為。The everyday meaning kept the picture日常用法保留了這個畫面 of going past a sensible line就是越過合理的界線，even though most people who say it now儘管現在說這句話的人 are not thinking of the war at all大多根本沒想到戰爭。

It is not a compliment, and it does not mean “the best.”

It is not a compliment這不是稱讚，and it does not mean "the best."也不代表「最好」。
