Answer

Absolutely correct about the translation except for "shi nian qian" which means ten years ago whereas "yi nian qian" means one year ago, as what Sho has said .

Answer

Yes,you're right about the translation for your question highlighted.
But there is a small mistake in another sentence,'Shi nian qian, ta qu Meiguo shang daxue.'I think it means ten years ago, not a year.....hope this could help you clear....
