【課文】

In 1963 a Lancaster bomber crashed on Wallis Island, a remote place in the South Pacific, a long way west of Samoa. The plane wasn't too badly damaged, but over the years, the crash was forgotten and the wreck remained undisturbed. Then in 1989, twenty-six years after the crash, the plane was accidentally rediscovered in an aerial survey of the island. By this time, a Lancaster bomber in reasonable condition was rare and worth rescuing. The French authorities had the plane packaged and moved in parts back to France. Now a group of enthusiasts are going to have the plane restored. It has four Rolls-Royce Merlin engines, but the group will need to have only three of them rebuilt. Imagine their surprise and delight when they broke open the packing cases and found that the fourth engine was sweet as honey -- still in perfect condition. A colony of bees had turned the engine into a hive and it was totally preserved in beeswax!

1963年，一架蘭開(kāi)斯特轟炸機(jī)在位于薩摩亞以西、南太平洋的一個(gè)偏遠(yuǎn)之地——瓦利斯島上墜毀。飛機(jī)受損并不嚴(yán)重，但隨著時(shí)間的流逝，這場(chǎng)墜機(jī)事故逐漸被遺忘，飛機(jī)殘骸也沒(méi)受到破壞。然而，在墜機(jī)26年后的1989年，在對(duì)該島進(jìn)行的一次空中勘查中，這架飛機(jī)意外地被重新發(fā)現(xiàn)。到那時(shí)，狀況尚好的蘭開(kāi)斯特轟炸機(jī)已十分罕見(jiàn)，值得搶救。法國(guó)有關(guān)部門(mén)將這架飛機(jī)分拆打包，運(yùn)回法國(guó)。現(xiàn)在，一群愛(ài)好者打算將這架飛機(jī)修復(fù)。它配有四臺(tái)羅爾斯-羅伊斯默林發(fā)動(dòng)機(jī)，但該團(tuán)隊(duì)僅需重建其中三臺(tái)。當(dāng)他們打開(kāi)包裝箱時(shí)，驚喜地發(fā)現(xiàn)第四臺(tái)發(fā)動(dòng)機(jī)狀態(tài)極佳，依然完好無(wú)損，他們真是又驚又喜。一群蜜蜂把發(fā)動(dòng)機(jī)當(dāng)成了蜂巢，發(fā)動(dòng)機(jī)因此被蜂蠟完全包裹保存了下來(lái)！
