[ti:新概念英語(yǔ)第二冊(cè)] [ar:] [al:] [by:https://www.lrc.com.cn] [00:02.25]Lesson 66 [00:05.02]Sweet as honey! [00:13.72]What was 'sweet as honey' and why? [00:20.08]In 1963 a Lancaster bomber crashed on Wallis Island, [00:26.48]a remote place in the South Pacific,a long way west of Samoa. [00:33.33]The plane wasn't too badly damaged, [00:36.34]but over the years the crash was forgotten and the wreck remained undisturbed. [00:43.05]Then in 1989,twenty-six years after the crash, [00:49.46]the plane was accidentally rediscovered in an aerial survey of the island. [00:56.14]By this time, [00:57.61]a Lancaster bomber in reasonable condition was rare and worth rescuing. [01:04.39]The French authorities had the plane packaged and moved in parts back to France. [01:11.80]Now a group of enthusiasts are going to have the plane restored. [01:17.21]It has four RollsRoyce Merlin engines [01:21.01]but the group will need to have only three of them rebuilt. [01:25.71]Imagine their surprise and delight when they broke open the packing cases [01:32.11]and found that the fourth engine was sweet as honey--still in perfect condition. [01:40.61]A colony of bees had turned the engine into a hive [01:45.89]and it was totally preserved in beeswax!
