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坠落在沃利斯岛。那是南太平洋一处偏远的地方，远在萨摩亚以西。飞机损坏不算严重，可多年过去，坠机事件被遗忘，残骸也一直没人动过。 直到1989年，人们在对该岛进行航空勘测时，偶然又发现了它。这时，保存尚好的兰开斯特轰炸机已很罕见，值得抢救。 法国有关部门让人把飞机分拆包装，运回法国。现在，一群爱好者正准备请人把它修复。 它有四台劳斯莱斯“梅林”发动机，不过只有三台需要重修。 打开包装箱时，他们的惊喜可想而知：第四台发动机竟然还完好无损，真是个“甜蜜的惊喜”！原来，一群蜜蜂把它当成了蜂巢，整台发动机都被蜂蜡封存保护了起来。
学完这一课
先沿这条线复述《像蜜一样甜！》：坠机后长期被遗忘 → 二十六年后重见天日 → 运回法国准备修复 → 四台发动机只需修三台 → 蜜蜂意外帮了大忙。再借一个结构讲自己的事：把本课一个被动句改成有明确执行者的主动句，比较关注点有什么变化。
