Do not forget the No 4. You have not put any word for it. I would not set my heart at rest without your comment and criticism

You see "keep doing sth " means 'continuously do sth without a stop'

Does it make sense?

The dog keeps lowering its limbs ------ google translation version ----狗不断降低四肢 :P

As for No. 4, hehehe, 不看了，做评论员是得罪人的事。

你看，这儿的人个个都给你戴高帽子，吹喇叭抬轿子，meat-hemp 的话是一筐一筐又一筐，:D :D :D
