speak for yourself ≠ 为自己说话

speak for yourself 我可不这么想；那是你的看法而已

something you say to someone to say that the opinion that they have just expressed is not the same as your opinion

speak 是说话，那 speak for yourself 是为自己说话吗？

这么想就太简单了，老外只有在反驳别人时，才会说 speak for yourself，这个短语应该理解为那都是你一个人的看法，我才不这么看呢。

Her explanation did not hold water at all.

她的解释根本站不住脚。

Speak for yourself.

I believe what she said anyway.

我可不这么想。反正我相信她说的话。

反驳别人还可以这么说

• I do not feel the same 我不这么认为
• I beg to differ 我不能苟同
• I am afraid I disagree 我恐怕要反对
