Please help with Chinese translation (请给我帮助翻译) Hello everyone! I am planning on going to China this summer in order to further my Mandarin (普通话) abilities. If anybody could help me translate this passage, I would really appreciate it. Thank you!! Let me start off by saying that my Chinese isn't very good. But that's the whole purpose of this trip! My name is Ian. I'm a 17 year old high school student from America with a great interest in all things Chinese, including Chinese food, culture, and language. Ever since I was a little kid, I loved watching Kung Fu theater and was fascinated by the Chinese society depicted in those movies, and the strange and amazing language which they were speaking. As it turns out, the language mostly spoken in those movies was Cantonese, not Mandarin, and modern Chinese society is a lot different from a kung fu movie. Although I have studied Chinese for several years at my school, I have seriously devoted myself to learning the language over the past year, and advanced to the highest level class my school offers. In fact, I am the only one currently enrolled in the class, and unfortunately must be placed with the lower class due to scheduling at my school. So, I have primarily learned Chinese on my own, which is a very difficult task. I've finally mastered the language enough that I am ready for immersion in China. The number one method of learning a language is without a doubt immersion. I have been offered a partial scholarship to participate in a 2 week cultural and linguistic exchange program in China through the Chinese Cultural and Education center, but due to my family's current financial situation, the program is still out of our reach. Altogether, after the scholarship we need about $1000 in order to cover expenses such as food, board, and passports and visas. I hope that you can help me fulfill my dream through Gofundme. Each donor who contributes $25 or above will receive a hand-drawn China themed coloring book with beautiful illustrations! For each donor who contributes $100 or more, I will personally bring you back a gift from my trip if I am able to go. Thank you everyone, please share this video with anybody you think would like to help.

Please help with Chinese translation (请给我帮助翻译)

Hello everyone! I am planning on going to China this summer in order to further my Mandarin (普通话) abilities. If anybody could help me translate this passage, I would really appreciate it. Thank you!!

Let me start off by saying that my Chinese isn't very good.

首先请允许我说,我的中文不是很好。

But that's the whole purpose of this trip! My name is Ian. I'm a 17 year old high school student from America with a great interest in all things Chinese, including Chinese food, culture, and language.

但是这就是此次旅行的目的,我的名字叫lan,我是美国一个17岁高中生,对中国有着极大的兴趣包括中国的食物文化和语言。

Ever since I was a little kid, I loved watching Kung Fu theater and was fascinated by the Chinese society depicted in those movies, and the strange and amazing language which they were speaking.

自从我是一个小孩,我就喜欢看功夫电影并且对中电影里对中国的描述很着迷,并且他们所说的陌生和奇妙的语言。

As it turns out, the language mostly spoken in those movies was Cantonese, not Mandarin, and modern Chinese society is a lot different from a kung fu movie.

后来发现,那些电影里说的语言大部分是广东话,不是普通话,并且现在中国社会与功夫电影里是有很大的不同。

Although I have studied Chinese for several years at my school, I have seriously devoted myself to learning the language over the past year, and advanced to the highest level class my school offers.

尽管我已经在学习学了好几年的中文,在过去几年我投入很多精力学习中文并且把我们学校高年级提供的都提前学习了。

In fact, I am the only one currently enrolled in the class, and unfortunately must be placed with the lower class due to scheduling at my school.

事实上,我是班里唯一被录取的?并且不幸的是我必须被分在低年级由于学时安排。

So, I have primarily learned Chinese on my own, which is a very difficult task. I've finally mastered the language enough that I am ready for immersion in China.

所以,我主要学习中文靠我自己,这是一项非常困难的任务,我终于掌握了折磨语言,我准备沉浸在中国。

The number one method of learning a language is without a doubt immersion. I have been offered a partial scholarship to participate in a 2 week cultural and linguistic exchange program in China through the Chinese Cultural and Education center, but due to my family's current financial situation, the program is still out of our reach.

最好的学习一门语言的方法就是不要怀疑的沉浸在里面,我已经被提供了一部分奖学金去参与与中国文化与教育中心的一个为期两周的文化和语言交换项目。但是由于我家目前的经济状况这个项目仍然是遥不可及

Altogether, after the scholarship we need about $1000 in order to cover expenses such as food, board, and passports and visas. I hope that you can help me fulfill my dream through Gofundme.

尽管,在奖学金后我们还需要大概1000美元来支付花费想事务,机票护照和VISAS,我希望你可以资助我来实现我的梦想。

Each donor who contributes $25 or above will receive a hand-drawn China themed coloring book with beautiful illustrations!

每个捐助超过25美元的或者更多的将会收到一个手绘中国主题与美丽的彩色书插图!

For each donor who contributes $100 or more, I will personally bring you back a gift from my trip if I am able to go. Thank you everyone, please share this video with anybody you think would like to help.

对于每一个捐赠者贡献100美元或更多,我将亲自带你的礼物我的如果我能去旅行。谢谢大家,请与任何人分享这个视频你认为愿意帮助。
