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! 中文理解：1963年，一架兰开斯特轰炸机在瓦立斯岛坠毁。那是南太平洋中一个偏远的岛屿，在萨摩亚以西很远的地方。飞机损坏的程度并不严重，但是，多年来这起飞机失事已被遗忘，飞机残骸也没受到破坏。于是，到了1989年，飞机失事26年后，在对小岛的一次航空勘查中，那架飞机意外地被再次发现了。到了那个时候，状况良好的兰开斯特轰炸机实属罕见，值得挽救。法国政府派人把飞机打包起来，分成各部分运回法国。一群热心人士计划修复这架飞机。该飞机装配有4台劳斯莱斯的默林发动机，但是他们只需要修复其中的3台。想想他们拆开包装箱时有多么惊喜：第四台发动机“甜得像蜜一样”，而且仍然完好无损。 一群蜜蜂把发动机当作了蜂房，发动机在蜂蜡中被完整地保存了下来。 * **a long way**：形容词与名词一起理解；先结合这句确定是在评价位置、距离还是经历，不把 good 一律换成中文“好”。 #### 1. a Lancaster bomber crashed… 简单句，主谓结构. 后面关于具体位置的补充成分其实并不重要，教材翻译得极为冗长，本处予以简化. 本句为一般过去时，整个故事都是在讲过去发生的一个事情. #### 2. The plane wasn't damaged, but the crash was forgotten and the wreck remained undisturbed. 并列句，but 和and 分别连接起这三个简单句，1. 主谓结构；2. 主谓结构；3. 主系表结构. #### 3. the plane was rediscovered… 简单句，主谓结构，一般过去时的被动语态，被重新发现. #### 4. a Lancaster bomber was rare and worth rescuing. 简单句，整体理解为主系表结构，worth 在这里是形容词，按照介词的用法，后面接名词、代词等，故be worth doing 中，worth 作表语，因为该词较为特殊，后面跟一个动名词作宾语. #### 5. The French authorities had the plane and moved… 简单句，主谓宾 + 宾补. 这里had 是have 的过去式，是有实际意义的，不是助动词. \[关键句型] 本课复习have 的用法，此处为使役动词，have + 名词/代词 + 过去分词，不必交待具体的动作执行人是谁，但我们知道是让别人去做的，而不是自己，比如have my hair . 就是让外人帮自己理发，不是自己剪头发. #### 6. a group of enthusiasts are going to have the plane restored. 简单句，主谓宾 + 宾补结构，am/is/are going to do 在这里是一般将来时. #### 7. It has engines, but the group will need to have… 并列句，but 连接前后两句，前句为主谓宾结构；后句也是主谓宾结构，动词不定式短语作宾语，本身也可以额外分析：to have only three of them . #### 8. Imagine their surprise and delight when they broke open the packing cases and found that… 复合句，主句是祈使句，直接省略了主语，谓语 + 宾语，后面则是when 引导的时间状语从句，该从句为并列复合句，由and 连接这个时间状语从句，前句为主谓宾结构，后句为found + that 引导的宾语从句，该宾语从句是主系表结构. #### 9. A colony of bees had turned the engine and it was preserved. 并列句，前句为主谓宾结构；后句为主谓结构. ## 学完这一课 换一个时间、人物或地点，用三句话讲一件自己的小事。 [Nce · 本册复习台](/new-concept/book-2/review) · [三册选择地图](/new-concept/) *译文与解析据吴应时整理资料及本站首轮审校稿；词伙与练习提示为本站学习设计。原PDF第159—160页，2022年3月第1版。*
