1. purview : (활동, 직권, 관리 등의) 범위, 영역, 권한

• I'm sorry, but that's not in my purview. (죄송합니다. 그건 제 권한이 아니라서요)
• I wish I could help, but that's outside my purview. (도와드릴 수 있다면 좋겠지만 제 관한이 아니라서요.)
• That's not my area of expertise. (잘 모르는 부분/분야일 때 - I don't know 말고) = That's outside my area of expertise.
• With all due respect, that's his purview, not yours. (외람된 말씀이지만, 그건 그의 권한이지 당신의 권한이 아닙니다.)

2. brush up : (전에 배운 것, 잊혀져 가는 것 등을) 다시 공부하다, 다듬다

• We have a big client visiting from New York. I really need to brush up on my English.
• I need to brush up on my presentation skills. I'm out of practice. (실력이 떨어진 것)
• We have to do everything by the book, so brush up on procedures if necessary. (정석대로)

3. rusty : 녹슨, 예전 같지 않은

• I need to brush up on my Spanish. I'm a bit rusty.
• My English is a bit rusty, so please bear with me.
• I have to admit I was bit rusty at first, but it's all coming back to me now.
