Help with translation

[LouisD]

Hi everyone,

 

I am doing a Chinese assessment tomorrow and I'm supposed to have notes for the meanings of everything here, so I can write an essay, however I have fallen behind in class.

If anyone could translate this in to English or even just transcribe it in to characters that would be amazing.

 

Thank you so much,

 

Louis, Sydney

 

PS:

 

It is about 2 different people, I have translated the written part, but I have a lot of trouble with listening.

Each different file is a different person, so if you could seperate the translations that would be great.

 

PPS:

One file was too much to upload so I will post another forum post with that in it, or if possible try to attach it in the comments.

Part 2 of previous post

 

This is another file of what I need to translate.

 

If you could help that would be really good.

 

Thanks!

Maybe post your transcription attempt here, and we can correct it?

Part 1 attempt : Hello, I am english. I am 12 years old. I have a younger and older brother. My father and mother both work. My mother is an English teacher. I live in China? I like ..... Everyday - Breakfast. Everyday I leave school at ... and from this point on I couldn't understand anything. As is quite obvious by my terrible translation, I need a lot of help.

 

Part 2 Attempt: ............... Something about nose, and jeans.

 

I am really struggling with this, so a translation that corrects what I have said and fills in the gaps would be amazing.

much better to take an F - then - download 3-400 elementary (mandarin only) dialogues from popup and cpod, and spend a few weeks listening and reading to them intensively. Any other advice would probably be wasting your time.

你好我叫天心是英国人。我今年十二岁上八年级。我有一个姐姐，一个哥哥。他们都是大学生。我爸爸妈妈都工作。爸爸是工程师，妈妈是英语老师。我在学校学汉语。我学汉语学了五年了。我还会说德语，法语，和一点儿西班牙语。我有很多爱好。我喜欢打球，听音乐，看电影，等等。我每天早上七点起床，然后吃早饭。我们做小吃上学，我每天上八届课（？）。每天放学以后，我都有课外活动。我常常五点左右到家，到家以后我先写作业，然后看一个小时的电视。有时候在玩儿一会儿电脑。我常常十点左右睡觉。好了，不多写了。

a few corrections: She has an older sister (姐姐） and an older brother (哥哥）. You can tell they're both older because they're both 大学生.

She studies Chinese at school, and has been studying it for five years. This doesn't mean that she lives in China.

She has a lot of hobbies, she likes playing ball, listening to music, watching movies, etc.

She wakes up every day at 7 and eats breakfast after.

Just a note: I normally feel really uncomfortable doing other peoples homework, but I understand that sometimes people fall behind in class. Try not to let it happen again, and good luck on your assessment.

P。Ｓ Taking an F is horrible advice. I would never recommend anyone do this. In theory it makes sense because you're not really at this level but academic wise uhmm not so much. Especially if you're in university right now.

 

Part 2:

（not sure how her name is in characters) 长得漂亮。她的脸是长的。她有大眼睛，高鼻子，小嘴巴。她的头发不长不短。她喜欢穿连衣裙和牛仔裤。

I think the sentence after wake up at 7 then eat breakfast are  我们坐校车上学。（校 from 学校）and 我每天上八节课。

Thank you guys so much. grawt, I am in Year 9, and don't plan on continuing with Chinese next year as I have quite a lot of troubles with it.

LiJiafeng, thanks for helping out! Are you a native speaker by any chance? I agree with your corrections, sounds like 校车 and 八节课.

Bad Cao Cao, perhaps consider giving some constructive advice instead of just telling people they're doing it wrong?

[LiJiafeng]

Lu,no I'm not a native speaker.l'm Thai.Now I study Chinese major at university.
