be born and bred in...

        [be out of practice] to be less good at doing sth than you were because you have not spent time doing it recently  生疏了

        国人在遇到外国人时，第一句话总是 My English is poor. (我的英语很差。)其实这一句话不太好，因为瞬间让别人觉得你没信心。其实Johnny听过很多人讲英语，他们其实没有自己想象得那么差。所以大家以后如果真的不敢讲英语时，至少要会说这一句。I'm out of practice when it comes to speaking English. (提到说英语，我已经生疏了。)

    Ex:  Don't ask me to speak English. I'm out of practice.

       别叫我讲英语。我已经生疏了。
