三语法核心总结
have sth. done
让人把某物……(打包装箱 / 修复 / 重装)
被动语态
was damaged / was rediscovered / was preserved
过去完成时
had turned(在「拆箱发现」之前就已发生)
be worth doing sth.
值得做某事
have sth. done 的连续使用:The French authorities had the plane packaged and moved in parts back to France. / a group of enthusiasts are going to have the plane restored. / the group will need to have only three of them rebuilt. 三句都用 have + 宾语 + 过去分词,表示「让人把某物……」。在这种结构里,主语并不亲自去做,而是请别人去做。
Imagine their surprise and delight when …:Imagine + 名词短语是一个祈使句,意思是「设想一下……」,用来把读者拉进现场。后面 when 引导时间状语从句,交代「当他们打开包装箱时」。
被动语态 was preserved:it was totally preserved in beeswax 指「发动机被蜂蜡完整地保存了下来」。被动语态把焦点放在「发动机」上,而不是「蜜蜂」,与全文以飞机为主线的叙述角度一致。
