Sweet as Honey

1. In 1963 a Lancaster bomber crashed on Wallis Island, a remote place in the South Pacific, a long way west of Samoa.
2. The plane wasn't too badly damaged, but over the years, the crash was forgotten and the wreck remained undisturbed.
3. Then in 1989. twenty-six years after the crash, the plane was accidentally rediscovered in an aerial survey of the island.
4. By this time, a Lancaster bomber in reasonable condition was rare and worth rescuing.
5. The French authorities had the plane pakcaged and moved in parts back to France.
6. Now a group of enthusiasts are going to have the plane restored.
7. It has four Rolls-Royce Merlin engines, but the group will need to have only three of them rebuilt.
8. 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.
9. A colony of bees had turned the engine into a hive and it was totally preserved in beeswax!

Have sth done

“have something done” 是一个常用的英语表达方式，用来表明某人让别人为自己做某事，通常这件事情是由专家或另一个人来完成的。这种结构通常涉及到服务或任务的委托。

结构

这个结构通常为：

• 主语 + have + 宾语 + 过去分词 + (其他信息)

用法示例

1. 基本用法：

   • “I had my hair cut yesterday.” （我昨天剪了头发。）
   • “She had her car repaired.” （她修理了她的车。）

   这些例子中，“had”后面跟着一个宾语（my hair, her car）和一个过去分词（cut, repaired），表示这些服务是由其他人执行的。

2. 用于意外情况：

   • “He had his wallet stolen.” （他的钱包被偷了。）

   在这种用法中，虽然通常是不希望发生的事情，但结构依旧表明这件事是被动发生的。

3. 带有双宾语的用法：

   • “We had the plumber fix the leak.” （我们请水管工修理了漏水。）

   这个例子中，“had”后面跟着一个人（the plumber）和一个动词原形（fix），表明是让某人做某事。

注意事项

• 使用“have something done”时，动词“have”可以根据句子的时态变化（如：will have, is having, has had）。
• 这种结构强调的是事情的完成，而不是完成任务的人，所以执行者通常不会在句子中明确提出。

使用这种结构可以让你的英语听起来更地道，特别是在描述日常生活中委托他人完成的任务或服务时。
