Cross off意思

"Cross off" is an English phrase that means to mark something as completed or to remove it from a list or schedule. It is often used in the context of crossing something out with a line, as if using a pen or pencil to strike through an item on a list, indicating that it has been finished or is no longer relevant.

For example, if you have a to-do list and you have completed one of the tasks, you might cross it off to indicate that it is no longer outstanding. Similarly, if you are planning a schedule and an event is cancelled, you might cross it off the schedule to show that it is no longer happening.

The phrase can also be used metaphorically, for example, "I crossed off visiting the museum from my list of things to do in the city," meaning that the person has decided not to visit the museum and has mentally removed it from their list of options.
