این سوال منم هست، کسی از دوستان پاسخی نداره؟

Answer 1

I think 'speak for' does the trick. If you speak for someone, you're saying something usually without their knowing or consent so it can have a negative connotation depending on the context.

There's an expression which is commonly used here.

Speak for yourself!

You can also say 'someone can speak up for themselves' as in

He can speak up for himself! (So you don't need to talk on behalf of them)

np. unfortunately i can't think of a better alternative. If it does exist, it must be an uncommon one. 

Answer 2

اصطلاح: مگه من وکیل وصی اش هستم؟ مگه من چیکاره اش هستم!

کاربرد: حاکی از اینکه مسئولیت انجام یک کار بر عهده شخص دیگری نیست.

Not (one's) brother's keeper

Ex: How should I know where Mary is? I'm not my brother's keeper.

از کجا باید بدونم که ماری کجاست؟ مگه من وکیل وصی اون هستم. 

Ex:  Part of me wants to help him, but part of me realizes I can't be my brother's keeper.

یه دلم میگه کمکش کنم، یه دلم میگه مگه من چیکاره اش هستم که بخواهم کمکشش کنم.
