5. 鄭和下西洋

Zheng He was a great Chinese explorer and fleet commander. His seven main expeditions explored the world for the Chinese emperors and established the trade links between China and new areas. The Emperor Yongle wanted to show off the glory and power of the Chinese Empire to the world. He also wanted to establish the business relations with other countries. So, he appointed Zheng He as the Chief Envoy and asked him to set up a fleet to explore the world. Zheng He commanded a large fleet, whose first voyage was estimated to have over 200 ships and nearly 28,000 men.

鄭和是一位偉大的中國(guó)探險(xiǎn)家和艦隊(duì)指揮官。他主要進(jìn)行了七次探險(xiǎn)活動(dòng)，為中國(guó)皇帝（Chinese emperor）探索了世界，并在新的區(qū)域建立了與中國(guó)的貿(mào)易聯(lián)系。永樂(lè)帝（Emperor Yongle）想向世界其他國(guó)家展示中華帝國(guó)（the Chinese Empire）的榮耀與權(quán)力，同時(shí)還想與世界其他國(guó)家建立貿(mào)易聯(lián)系。于是他任命鄭和為首席特使（Chief Envoy），命他成立一個(gè)艦隊(duì)去探索世界。鄭和指揮了一個(gè)大型艦隊(duì)，第一次航海時(shí)估計(jì)有超過(guò)200艘船，將近28000人。
