其实我的英语在非母语者中算很不错的了。但是和母语者聊天的时候，如果我一时想不起来表达，或是因为听不懂俚语而误会意思，我就很丝滑地说出” Sorry my English sucks.”来打趣/缓解尴尬。
可是我的English怎么就suck了，用第二语言进行相对流畅交流本来就不suck，我不想再这样负面心理暗示本就努力学英语说英语的自己。
以后我要把sorry my English sucks换成：
That one’s new to me. What does that mean?

I'm not sure how to put this in English.

Brain lag, give me a second.

I know exactly what I want to say in Chinese... just need the English file to load.

You just taught me a new phrase—thanks!
