<P>美国公共电视台(PBS)将于本周三播出节目:1421,中国发现美洲的年代?(1421: The Year China Discovered America?)。</P>
<P>以下是摘录翻译的剧情简介(译自http://www.pbs.org/previews/1421/):</P>
<P>“本片将探讨一个可能震惊世界的新发现:在一个勇敢的中国将军率领下,一支有史记以来最大的木壳舰队,先于哥伦布71年到达了美洲”</P>
<P>“本片的第一部分将谈到在15世纪时,中国作为一个崛起的超级大国,拥有一支称霸印度洋的舰队。在皇帝朱棣的指令下,郑和舰队的航线几乎涵盖了整个东半球。这支舰队建立了重要的据点,将‘中央帝国’的势力扩张到了远超前代的范围。这部分将通过排演,实地拍摄和电脑对舰队的模拟来重现这段历史。”</P>
<P>“第二部分将探讨MENZIES提出的学说,即这支令人难以置信的无畏舰队先于哥伦布到达美洲,而且实际上是他们告诉了欧洲人怎样向西到达美洲。本片将通过收集历史记录,考古发现和采访历史学家,考古学家和科学家,来验证MENZIES的理论:即中国人由非洲航行到了欧洲,再向西横穿大西洋到达了加勒比海,并最终到达了美国东海岸。”</P>



<P>1421: THE YEAR CHINA DISCOVERED AMERICA?, airing on PBS Wednesday, July 21, investigates a theory that could turn the conventional view of world history on its head: the startling possibility that a daring Chinese admiral, commanding the largest wooden armada ever built, reached America 71 years before Columbus.</P>
<P>The first part of the documentary presents 15th-century China as an emerging super-nation with an armada of treasure junks that dominated the Indian Ocean. At the behest of Chinese emperor Zhu Di, Zheng He sailed this fleet to far-flung outposts throughout the eastern hemisphere, established major ports and extended the commercial reach of "the Middle Kingdom" far beyond its previous bounds. The first segment recounts this story through re-enactments, extensive location filming and innovative computer graphics imaging models of the fleet itself.</P>




<P>1421: THE YEAR CHINA DISCOVERED AMERICA? then investigates the major historical mystery that arises from Menzies' theory: Could this incredible and intrepid fleet have shown the European explorers the way to the west - reaching America's shores decades before Columbus? Menzies seeks to prove his extraordinary theory by retracing the steps he believes the Chinese took from Africa to Europe to the Caribbean and along the eastern coast of the United States. The program examines the evidence behind his theory, then puts it to the test, drawing together historical accounts, archaeology and information from consultations with contemporary historians, archaeologists and scientists. </P>
