和人聊天时，聊了半天，最尴尬的是对方误会了你的意思，“说者无心，听者有意。” 这误会大了哈哈！

Let me rephrase that.
让我重新措辞一下。

Sorry, that didn’t come out right.
抱歉，我不是这个意思。

That came out wrong.
我可能没说清楚。

How should I put this? You are allowed to decide whether or not you want to go to university. In other words, education is a basic human right for all.
我该怎么说呢？你可以决定你要不要去上大学。换言之，受教育是每个人的基本权利。

This is not a typical ballad. Let me try to explain myself better. I was trying to say that this song doesn’t tell a story, which is a common feature of ballads.
这不是一首典型的民谣。让我试着更好地解释一下。我想说的是，讲故事是民谣的一个特点，但这首歌没有讲故事。
