Learning Reflections

[29] bié zháo jí = don’t worry
This is a new expression for me. I'm more used to bié dān xīn  to say "don't worry"

[30]  chā shàng diàn = insert on electricity = plug in an electrical device

[32] bǎ shǒu duǒ kāi = take hand, stay out of trouble
This is an interesting bǎ construction. Take note of the expression duǒ kāi = stay out of trouble
The fan does look dangerous!

[32] jiǎo = entangle

[36] ràng wǒ chuī = let me be blown
It appears that chū can both mean "to blow" or "to be blown on". Is it because it comes after "ràng"?

[38] mā zuo fàn rè = mum cook hot = Mom's all hot from cooking.
Would it be right to say wǒ pǎo lèi = I run tired = I'm tired from running?

[39] wǒ men yī kuài chuī = we together blow
It looks like yī kuài can substitute yī qǐ to mean together

[43] shēn shǒu = to hold out one's hand

[44] en = yes
A convenient way of saying yes

[45] liáng kuài = pleasantly cool
This appears to be a set phrase to denote that you are enjoying the coolness
