【课文】

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，一架兰开斯特轰炸机在位于萨摩亚以西、南太平洋的一个偏远之地——瓦利斯岛上坠毁。飞机受损并不严重，但随着时间的流逝，这场坠机事故逐渐被遗忘，飞机残骸也没受到破坏。然而，在坠机26年后的1989年，在对该岛进行的一次空中勘查中，这架飞机意外地被重新发现。到那时，状况尚好的兰开斯特轰炸机已十分罕见，值得抢救。法国有关部门将这架飞机分拆打包，运回法国。现在，一群爱好者打算将这架飞机修复。它配有四台罗尔斯-罗伊斯默林发动机，但该团队仅需重建其中三台。当他们打开包装箱时，惊喜地发现第四台发动机状态极佳，依然完好无损，他们真是又惊又喜。一群蜜蜂把发动机当成了蜂巢，发动机因此被蜂蜡完全包裹保存了下来！
