Over a hundred years ago people in London were surprised to see a very unusual boat come sailing up the Thames River .The boat was eighty feet long ,flat-bottomed ,with big wooden eyes on both sides in the front and was colorfully painted at the back .
People came to know that it was a sailing boat from Fuzhou in distant China .The boat had sailed round the Cape of Good Hope ,up the western coast of Africa ,and finally to England .It had covered fifteen thousand miles… more than half of the distance round the world .
Although it was unexpected ,the Chinese were warmly welcomed .The boat carried goods such as silk and tea as well as a number of gifts from the Emperor of China for the Queen of England .
People had always mistakenly thought of the Chinese as a people not used to the sea .However ,from centuries of trading and sailing in dangerous seas ,the Chinese had learned how to build good boats and sail them well .The coming of this sailing boat to London proved once again the Chinese could sail to distant countries in the world .

一百多年以前,伦敦人很惊讶的看到一艘罕见的船沿着泰晤士河逆流而上.这船8尺长,平底,在船头的两边,各有一个很大的木制的眼睛,在船的后面,有彩色的画.人们才知道那是从遥远的中国福州来的船.这艘船曾绕过非洲西海岸的好望角,然后最终到达英格兰.它一共航行了15,000英里,长过地球周长的一半.
尽管他并不被人看好（并不被人寄以厚望/出乎意料）,但是中国人还是收到了热烈的欢迎.这艘船带来了丝绸和茶这些中国皇帝送给英国女皇的礼物.
人们总是误解中国人并不航海.但是,几个世纪以来在在危险的海域交易和航海,使中国人已经学会如何建造更好的船只和航行.这次这艘船来到伦敦,再一次证明了中国人可以航行到这世界上另一个遥远的国家.
