If you are unsure of a question that your English teacher has asked you, you can reply in English by saying 'I'm sorry I don't know" or more formally "I'm sorry I don't know the answer to your question". This implies that you understand the question that your teacher is asking you, however are unsure of the answer. If it is in a larger more public setting a simple "I'm sorry I don't know" is suffice.
講師の質問が分からなかったら、
"I'm sorry I don't know"
[訳]すみません、わかりません
もしくは、もう少しフォーマルに、
"I'm sorry I don't know the answer to your question"
[訳]すみません、先生の質問の答えがわかりません
と答えることができます。
これは、質問の意味は分かったけど答えが分からないというニュアンスです。
それがより大きな公共的な場なら、

When a teacher asks you a question and you do not know the answer to it, then you may tell the teacher the following:
-I don't know the answer to this question
-I don't know.
-I'm not sure how to answer your question
先生に質問されて、答えが分からない時は、以下のフレーズが使えます。
例文
-I don't know the answer to this question
(この質問の答えが分かりません)
-I don't know.
(分かりません)
-I'm not sure how to answer your question
(質問にどう答えたら良いか分かりません)
The two sentences you see provided above are excellent ways to express to your teacher that you do not know the answer to a certain question. In the first sentence you will see the word sure and in the second sentence you will see the word certain. Although these words have different meanings, in these sentences they mean to be positive about something. These two words are common in our everyday conversation and are appropriate for both informal and formal settings.
Im sorry, but I am not able to answer such a question.
The first thing to do is do apologise. This is a sign of respect and shows that you aren't making fun of the situation.
Apologies is pronounced "ah-pol-lo-geez"
The next word "however" shows that there is something that you must say even though you have apologised.
Finally the statement "I can't answer the question" lets the person know that you are unable to answer the question.
"Im sorry, but I am not able to answer such a question."
This statement lets the person know that even if you were able to answer the question that you are unwilling to answer it.
まずすべきは謝ることです。これは尊敬の印ですし、真面目に取り組んでいることが伝わります。
「apologies」は「ah-pol-lo-geez」のように発音します。
その次の「however」は、謝ったけれど、言わなければならないことがあることを示します。
最後に「I can't answer the question」、これは「その質問に答えられません」という意味です。
I'm sorry, but I am not able to answer such a question.
(すみません、そういう質問には答えられません。)
これは、たとえその質問に答えられたとしても、答えたくはないという意味です。
