"Not know first thing about" nghĩa là gì?

Hừm, đọc mãi chả hiểu gì. Photo by bruce mars from Pexels 

"Not know first thing about (someone/ something) = không biết tí gì về người này/ điều này. 

Ví dụ 
There is no man in Mauretania worthy of her and because I do not know the first thing about matchmaking (mai mối), I reply to Julia's letter and ask her advice. 

By the end of the dialogue, it becomes clear that Sisyphus does not know the first thing about deliberating (cân nhắc cẩn thận), and Socrates offers to delve into (đào sâu nghiên cứu) it again with him. 

Now I do have a little background in building with the Army Corps of Engineers (tập đoàn Kỹ sư Quân đội), so I was not totally in the dark. But I was never a handyman (cần cù) type of person and did not know the first thing about most of the basic working components in a home.
