解析
本题考查汉英翻译翻译，主要涉及人物郑和下西洋的相关内容，涉及出生信息、身份、航海经历及历史意义的翻译。。翻译时需注意以下要点：
- 专有名词与地名：如“云南昆明”翻译为“Kunming, Yunnan Province”（原答案中“加加Province”应为Yunnan Province的笔误）；“明朝”是“The Ming Dynasty”；“西洋”是“the Western Seas”。
. 人物身份描述：“不仅是…也是…”用“not only… but also…”结构，“外交家”是“diplomat”，“海上探险家是“maritime explorer”。
. 时间与数字：“从公元1405年起的28年间”需准确翻译为“From 1405 to 1433”（1405+28=1433）；“10多万人”是“over 100,000 people”，“30多个国家和地区”是“more than than 30 countries and regions”。
. 历史意义：“壮举”翻译为“feat”，“航海史”是“the history of world navigation”，“加强关系”用“strengthen the relationship between…”结构。
