A British newspaper that prints its name in white letters on a bright red box at the top of the front page — The Sun, the Daily Mirror, the Daily Star. The word is really a polite way of saying 'tabloid': cheap, hugely popular, full of large photographs, football, television people and short headlines, and not trusted the way the serious papers are.
A British newspaper一種英國報紙: at the top of the front page在頭版最上方 on a bright red box一塊鮮紅色的框裡 in white letters用白色字母 that prints its name印出報名—— The Sun《太陽報》、 the Daily Mirror《每日鏡報》、 the Daily Star《每日星報》。 The word這個字 is really其實是 of saying 'tabloid'說「小報」 a polite way比較客氣的講法: cheap便宜、 hugely popular銷量極大、 full of滿滿都是 large photographs大照片、 football足球、 television people電視名人 and short shouty headlines和短短的、喊叫式的標題, and而且 the way the serious papers are不像嚴肅大報那樣 not trusted受到信任。
British people use it as a quiet judgement — when someone says 'that was in a red-top', they often mean 'so I would not believe all of it'. It is also used before a noun: 'red-top journalism', 'the red-top press'.
