read it in english

What your Calculus teacher says before an evaluation, typically to indicate difficult wording of a word problem or just to tell their students not to be dumb in a subtle way. Usually said with a disappointed-i'm-praying-for-you look. Also commonly paired with "read it in full" or "read it twice".

lip reading

Also known as "speechreading", lip reading is a communication technique of understanding speech by watching a person's lip movements, facial expressions, and gestures, which can be enhanced by any residual hearing. It's a skill used by many people with hearing loss but also by the general public in noisy environments to aid comprehension. The technique is not foolproof, as many sounds look alike on the lips, and a complete understanding relies on context and other clues.
During the lecture, I noticed she was lip reading to keep up with the professor, especially when the classroom got really loud.

Global Can't Read

If a gacha game has a cn/jp version that is ahead from the global version it will have a "global/EN can't read" moment

It is said in communities especially in Arknights and it basically means that a global player misunderstands or misread the content in the cn/jp version and makes a drama out of it or when it comes out in the global version, players will not read it and may suffer the consequences.
Ishar-mla: Have you heard of another new permanent game mode in the cn version? Someone translated it and it is gonna be is3 with the is2 gamemode

Calcite: So they're replacing the permanent game mode called is2? Creator of this game is a dumbass because is2 is the best thing to come out. Let's stop playing is2 since it'll be replaced later

Kevin: "Global can't read" moment
Destreza: but both of them is permanent...
