  Lesson 66 Sweet as honey!像蜜一樣甜!

  First listen and then answer the question.

  聽錄音,然后回答以下問(wèn)題。

  What was 'sweet as honey' and why?

  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!

  參考譯文

  1963年,一架蘭開斯特轟炸機(jī)在瓦立斯島毀。那是南太洋中一個(gè)很偏僻的小島,位于薩摩亞群島以西,距離群島還有很長(zhǎng)一段距離。飛機(jī)損壞的程度并不嚴(yán)重,但是,多年來(lái)這起飛機(jī)失事已被遺忘,飛機(jī)殘骸也沒(méi)受到破壞。于是,到了1989年,飛機(jī)失事26年后,在對(duì)小島的一次航空勘查中那架飛機(jī)被意外地發(fā)現(xiàn)了。到了那個(gè)時(shí)候,狀況良好的蘭開斯特轟炸機(jī)實(shí)屬罕見,值得搶救。法國(guó)政府讓人把飛機(jī)包裝起來(lái),一部分一部分地搬回法國(guó)。一群熱心人計(jì)劃修復(fù)這架飛機(jī)。該飛機(jī)裝裝配有4臺(tái)羅爾斯-羅伊斯的默林發(fā)動(dòng)機(jī),但是他們只需要修復(fù)其中的3臺(tái)。想一想他們所感受到的驚奇和興奮 —— 當(dāng)他們拆開包裝箱時(shí),他們發(fā)現(xiàn)第4臺(tái)發(fā)動(dòng)機(jī)就像蜂蜜一樣甜 —— 發(fā)動(dòng)機(jī)完好無(wú)損。一群蜜蜂把發(fā)動(dòng)機(jī)當(dāng)作了蜂房,發(fā)動(dòng)機(jī)在蜂蠟中被完整地保存了下來(lái)。

  自學(xué)導(dǎo)讀

  1.a long way west of Samoa, 位于薩摩亞群島以西。

  這個(gè)短語(yǔ)補(bǔ)充說(shuō)明 Wallis Island 的位置。表示方向(東、南等)的詞后面可以直接加 of+地名,前面也不用加任何介詞:

  Shanghai is south of Beijing.

  上海在北京以南。

  2.over the years, 多年來(lái)。

  over 表示“在……期間/之中”:

  He worked very hard over the last two years.

  過(guò)去兩年中他工作努力。

  3.By this time, a Lancaster bomber in reasonable condition was rare and worth rescuing. 到了那個(gè)時(shí)候,狀況良好的蘭開斯特轟炸機(jī)實(shí)屬罕見,值得搶救。

  (1)reasonable在這里表示“尚好的”、“過(guò)得去的”,用于表示價(jià)錢時(shí),它指“公道的”、“合理的”、“不貴的”等:

  The house is in reasonable condition.

  這座房子狀況尚好。

  The price of the dress is reasonable.

  這件衣服不算貴。

  (2)worth 可表示“值得”、“具有……的價(jià)值”,后面跟名詞或動(dòng)名詞:

  This book is worth buying.

  這本書值得買。

  That park is worth a visit.

  那個(gè)公園值得一去。

  4.The French authorities bad the plane packaged and moved in parts back to France. 法國(guó)政府讓人把飛機(jī)包裝起來(lái),一部分一部分地搬回法國(guó)。

  句中 have為使役動(dòng)詞,表示“使”,后面加名詞/代詞加過(guò)去分詞。packaged和 moved 都屬于這種結(jié)構(gòu)。(cf. 本課語(yǔ)法)

  5.A colony of bees had turned the engine into a hive…一群蜜蜂把發(fā)動(dòng)機(jī)當(dāng)做了蜂房……

  colony 作量詞表示“群”時(shí),往往用于蜜蜂、螞蟻等。

  turn into表示“把……改變成……”:

  When it is cold enough, water is turnd into ice.

  冷到一定程度時(shí),水就變成了冰。

  語(yǔ)法 Grammar in use

  使役式(The causative)

  (1)動(dòng)詞 have 除了可以作為助動(dòng)詞構(gòu)成完成時(shí)以外,還可以作為完全動(dòng)詞表示“擁有”或代替 take, eat, receive, experience 等動(dòng)詞(cf. 第18課語(yǔ)法):

  Did you have a good meal?

  您吃得好嗎?

  He has five cars.

  他有5輛汽車。

  have+名詞可以代替普通動(dòng)詞(cf.第42課語(yǔ)法):

  They had a nice swim.

  他們很暢快地游了泳。

  (2)have作為完全動(dòng)詞還可以構(gòu)成使役式,其形式為: have+名詞或賓格代詞+動(dòng)詞的過(guò)去分詞。由于have是完全動(dòng)詞,所以其疑問(wèn)句與否定句由do/did構(gòu)成。與被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài)相似,使役式著重表示的是對(duì)某物(或某人)做了什么而不是某人做了什么。試比較:

  用被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài)或使役式時(shí),我們可能不知道或認(rèn)為不必指明為我們服務(wù)的人是誰(shuí)。然而,使役式比被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài)更加強(qiáng)調(diào)“使”別人為我們服務(wù)這一事實(shí)。我們要表示讓別人為我們做某事時(shí),通常不用主動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài)。讓別人給理發(fā)時(shí),不可說(shuō)I want to cut my hair而要說(shuō) I want to have my hair cut。

  使役式也可以用以指人:

  While I'm away, I'll have you looked after.

  我不在的時(shí)候,我會(huì)讓人照顧你的。

  詞匯學(xué)習(xí) Word study

  1.集合名詞

  集合名詞表示的是由若干個(gè)體組成的集合體,如 family(家庭,一家人),team(隊(duì)),crew(船、飛機(jī)等上的全體工作人員),audience(觀眾),government(政府),staff(全體職員/教員),class (班,班級(jí))等。如果要強(qiáng)調(diào)作為整體的集體,則后面的動(dòng)詞用單數(shù);如果要強(qiáng)調(diào)組成集體的每個(gè)人,則后面的動(dòng)詞用復(fù)數(shù):

  2.imagine vt.

  (1)想像:

  Can you imagine their surprise and delight?

  你能想像得出他們的驚奇和快樂(lè)嗎?

  I thought I heard something, but perhaps I was imagining it.

  我覺(jué)得我(好像)聽到了什么動(dòng)靜,不過(guò)也許這只是我的想像。

  (2)料想,猜想:

  imagine you'd like to rest after your long journey.

  我想你在長(zhǎng)途旅行之后肯定愿意休息一下。
