Quick Sentence Translation

Recommended Posts

Hey guys, just a quick translation:

"I went to China when I was 15 years old. Because this is a long time ago, I can't really remember much."

This is my guess at the answer:

"我十五岁的时候去过中国,因为是很久以前的事,所以我不太记得"

I'm not a native speaker, but your translation seems fairly solid.

Appyling English grammar to the Chinese, I'm not sure if you can use 过 when explicitly stating the time, but anyway, I'll leave that for someone else to confirm or otherwise.

By the way, you can also say

"我十五岁的时候去中国,因为是很久以前的事,所以我记不清了"

It is fairly good. You can also say,

我去中国的时候十五岁,但事隔多年,不大记得了。
