丹尼尔上完历史课回来，就和爸爸讨论起郑和下西洋的故事。于是父子之间就关于海上探险这个话题展开了讨论，到底怎样呢？来看看吧！

Benjamin: Hey, Daniel, how's it going?

Daniel: Hey, Daddy, today I had really a fantastic history class.

Benjamin: Wow, it's so strange for you to say things like that. What had happened?

Daniel: We've learnt the story of Zheng He “Sailing to West Ocean”. He is a real great navigator.

Benjamin: Did your teacher tell you the route he took?

Daniel: Yeah, he, with his fleet, came across the Indian Ocean, and arrived at the east coast of Africa.

Benjamin: Great, do you still remember when he started his voyage?

Daniel: Of course, that is from 1405 to 1433, which is in Ming dynasty.

Benjamin: Good, by the way, do you finish reading the book Robinson Crusoe I've bought for you?

Daniel: Not yet, you know I have a lot of homework to do.

Benjamin: You should speed up, because the story of Robinson can give you a better understanding about what you learned today.

Daniel: OK, great Daddy, after supper, I'll embark on it.

Benjamin: That's my boy! Wait, Daniel, when is Pirates of the Caribbean on?

Daniel: Is it about Captain Jack Sparrow, who wants to find the treasure on the sea?

Benjamin: Exactly, now, tell me the time.

Daniel: I won't tell you, unless you promise to let me watch it with you.

本杰明:嗨，丹尼尔，怎么样了？

丹尼尔:嗨，爸爸。今天我上了一堂超棒的课。

本杰明:哇，你能说这种话太奇怪了。发生什么事情了？

丹尼尔:我们学了郑和下西洋的故事。他真是个伟大的航海家。

本杰明:老师告诉你他的航海路线了吗？

丹尼尔:是的，他跟他的舰队穿过了印度洋到达了非洲东海岸。

本杰明:好的，你记得他什么时候开始的旅行的？

丹尼尔:当然，从1405年到1433年，那是在明朝时期。

本杰明:好的，问一下，你读完了我给你买的那本《鲁滨逊漂流记》了吗？

丹尼尔:还没有，你知道我有很多家庭作业要做。

本杰明:你应该加快速度，因为鲁滨逊的故事能够帮助你理解今天所学的东西。

丹尼尔:好的，伟大的父亲大人，晚饭后，我就开始。

本杰明:这才是我的小孩，等等，丹尼尔，《加勒比海盗》什么时候开演？

丹尼尔:是不是关于想在海上找到宝藏的杰克船长？

本杰明:对啊，告诉我时间。

丹尼尔:除非你答应我跟你一起看，我才告诉你。
