中国的明朝，有一位英明的皇帝住在南京。他巡视国土从东边到西边，不禁想：“这个世界的其他地方是什么样子呢？”Once in old China in the kingdom of Ming, there was a great emperor who lived in Nanjing.He travelled his land from the east to the west, but thought to himself, “How about the rest?”“那里一定有宽广的土地、新奇的物种以及有趣的地方，还有许许多多长相与我们不同的人。”文武百官都笑了，“有什么好奇怪的？那些人又不认识我们，对我们有什么好处呢？”“There must be more lands, new creatures, new places, and filled with new people with different-shaped faces.”The officials all laughed, “What’s more left to see? Those others don’t know us. What good could they be?”当皇帝还是皇子时，有一个能干的太监。后来皇帝恩赐他姓“郑”，他就叫作“郑和”。“郑和很勇敢也很忠心，一定愿意出海去探险。”However, he had gained a good servant when but a prince.The emperor had called him Zheng He ever since.“Zheng He is so brave and so loyal to me, so he will explore and sail the sea.”
