问题
What is the passage mainly about?
答案
The passage mainly discusses the controversial theory proposed by Gavin Menzies, which challenges the traditional Western narrative of world exploration. He claims that Chinese explorers, led by Zheng He, discovered America and circumnavigated the globe decades before Columbus and Magellan, supported by historical maps and archaeological findings.
Text Analysis
Paragraph 1:
1.History books say that Christopher Columbus found... and that Ferdinand Magellan set off...
讲解:并列的宾语从句。动词 say 后面接了两个由 and 连接的宾语从句,分别由 that 引导。
2.set off to sail round the world
讲解:动词短语 和 动词不定式作目的状语。set off 意为“出发”。to sail round the world 是动词不定式短语,作目的状语,说明出发的目的。
Text Analysis
Paragraph 2:
1.Gavin Menzies, an officer of the British Royal Navy and also a navigation expert, says...
讲解:同位语。an officer... expert 是主语 Gavin Menzies 的同位语,对其身份进行补充说明。
2....he has gathered evidence that the Chinese arrived... and sailed...
讲解:现在完成时 和 同位语从句。has gathered 是现在完成时,表示动作已完成且与现在有关。that 引导的从句是 evidence 的同位语,解释证据的具体内容。
Text Analysis

Text Analysis
Paragraph 4:
1....with ancient Chinese articles found far from China...
讲解:“with + 复合宾语”结构 和 过去分词作定语。with 引导的短语作方式状语。found far from China 是过去分词短语作后置定语,修饰 articles,表示“在中国以外很远的地方被发现的(中国古器物)”。
2.He concluded that the Chinese had got to the coasts... and sailed...
讲解:宾语从句 和 过去完成时。that 引导宾语从句。从句中使用过去完成时 had got,表示这个动作发生在主句动词 concluded(得出结论)之前,是“过去的过去”。
Text Analysis
Paragraph 5:
1.It is a map dated 1418.
讲解:过去分词作后置定语。dated 1418 是过去分词短语作后置定语,修饰 map,意为“标注日期为1418年的(地图)”。

郑和的航行:重写历史
问题:What is Gavin Menzies' new idea?

Gavin Menzies proposes that the Chinese, under the command of Zheng He, reached America 72 years before Columbus and completed a round-the-world voyage a century earlier than Magellan.

同位语从句
同位语从句一般由 that 引导,属于 that- 从句。同位语从句用来说明前面名词的实际内容。同位语从句经常与以下名词连用:fact, idea, chance, hope, belief, thought, evidence, conclusion, discovery, truth, knowledge, opinion, news。
例如:
We have come to the conclusion that there is no one in the room. 我们已经得出结论,房中无人。
I have an idea that she likes tea very much. 我知道她很喜欢喝茶。
The news has arrived that she left school last week. 她上周离开学校的消息已经传到。

“同位语”和“定语”
同位语从句
that 引导的同位语从句与定语从句的区别
that 引导的同位语从句和定语从句有差别。
①在同位语从句中,引导词 that 只是引导作用,没有其他语法功能(即引导词 that 在同位语从句中不作主语或宾语)。在以上例句中皆是如此。
②但在定语从句中,that 是关系代词,除起引导作用外,还要作定语从句中的主语或宾语(作宾语的 that 常可省略)。例如:
This is the only book that is interesting. 这是唯一一本有趣的书。
This is the house that was built last year. 这是去年盖的房子。
Tom bought a computer that was made in China. 汤姆买了一台中国产计算机。
Thank you for the help (that) you have given us. 感谢你给予我们的帮助。
That is the book (that) you have read. 那是你读过的书。
I have got the email (that) you sent me. 我已收到你发给我的邮件。
