Vocabulary Related to a Time Machine

[YuehanHao]

I am trying to write a story in Chinese that includes a time machine. If anyone could help me say the following phrases in Chinese, I would appreciate your help （I made some guesses):

1. I am about to travel in time back to the time of your childhood.

（我就要旅行回你的童年的时候去了。）？

I bet your time machine can't even travel back to yesterday. (very similar to the question above).

(我以为你的时间机器连昨天也不能旅行回去。)?

2. He flew the time machine too fast.

(他太快地驾驶了时间机器。）? - is 驾驶 the correct verb here for a flying time machine?

3. He is stranded in ancient China.

(他 / 在古代的中国 / 搁浅的）？- have no idea how to combine the three parts of the sentence or rewrite more suitably.

谢谢，

约翰好！

约翰好！

1. I am about to travel in time back to the time of your childhood.

（我就要旅行回你的童年的时候去了。）？

我就要回到你的童年去旅游。

I bet your time machine can't even travel back to yesterday. (very similar to the question above).

(我以为你的时间机器连昨天也不能旅行回去。)?

我敢打赌，你的时光机连昨天都回不去。

2. He flew the time machine too fast.

(他太快地驾驶了时间机器。）? - is 驾驶 the correct verb here for a flying time machine?

Yes, 驾驶 is a correct verb her for a flying time machine, but you can also use the verb “开”, for we say “开车drive a car” and “开飞机 fly an airplane”.

他把时间机开得太快了。

3. He is stranded in ancient China.

(他 / 在古代的中国 / 搁浅的）？- have no idea how to combine the three parts of the sentence or rewrite more suitably.

他在中国古代搁浅了。"Stranded" here is used as a verb, not an adjective. (I think it seems like that 他把时光机开得太快了，所以他跑到中国古代去了.)

约翰, I think translation is not a word-to-word job, hehe.

Thanks!

谢谢你们, studentyoung and againstwind. Also, studentyoung, you are right on your interpretation in number 3 of how the story goes -- appreciate that suggestion.
