Unit 3 Back to the past Reading Sailing the ocean It’s in our nature to explore. Sailing the oceans Zheng He In the summer of 1405, Zheng He, one of China’s greatest explorers, set sail from Taicang on his first voyage. A fleet of over 200 ships navigated the blue seas, with almost 28,000 people on board, which was a splendid scene. It would take 500 years before a larger fleet sailed the seas. According to some records, the largest ships were over 140 metres in length, demonstrating the advanced technology and special skills used in constructing ships. 碧海远航 郑和 公元1405年夏，中国一位最伟大的探险家郑和从太仓起锚，开启了他的首次远航。其船队有船200余艘，载着近28000人，在碧海上乘风破浪，场面极其壮观。规模更大的航海船队要到500年后才出现。据史料记载，郑和船队最大的船长逾140米，可知其造船技术之高超，工艺之独特。 Between 1405 and 1433, on behalf of the Ming Dynasty, Zheng He made a total of seven voyages. His ships were loaded with china, silk, tea and other treasures as gifts for foreign rulers, and the fleet paid friendly visits to more than 30 countries and regions. He even sailed as far as the east coast of Africa. As they sailed, the navigators took compass readings, kept logs of their voyages and charted the coast. Later the detailed maps became Zheng He’s Navigation Map. 1405至1433年间，郑和代表明朝总共进行了七次航行。他的船队满载瓷器、丝绸、茶叶和其他奇珍异宝作为馈赠异邦君王的礼品，先后对30多个国家和地区进行了友好访问。他最远甚至抵达了非洲东海岸。海员们一路上记录罗盘刻度，书写航海日志，绘制海岸地图。这些详细的地图后来集为《郑和航海图》。 1. ... navigated the blue seas, ...(line 2) v. to find your position and the direction you need to go导航； v. to sail along, over or through a sea 航行，航海 v. to find the right way to deal with a difficult situation 找到正确的方法 navigate-navigation-navigator 1.
