Lesson71 A famous clock
一个的大钟
When you visit London, one of the first things you will
see is Big Ben, the famous clock which can be heard all over
the world on the B.B.C. If the Houses of Parliament had hot
been burned down in 1834, the great clock would never have
been erected. Big Ben takes its name from Sir Benjamin Hall
who was responsible for the making of the clock when the new
Houses of Parliament were being built. It is not only of
immense size, but is extremely accurate as well. Officials
from Greenwich Observatory have the clock checked twice a day.
On the B.B.C. you can hear the clock when it is actually
striking because microphones are connected to the clock tower.
Big Ben has rarely gone wrong. Once, however, it failed to
give the correct time. A painter who had been working on the
tower hung a pot of paint on one of the hands and slowed it
down !
当你游览伦敦时，首先看到的东西之一就是“大本”钟，即那座
从英国广播公司的广 播中全世界都能够听到它的声音的大钟。如果不
是国会大厦在
1834
年被焚毁的话， 这座大钟永远也不会建造。“大本”
钟得名于本杰明
.
霍尔爵士，因为当建造新的国会 大厦时，他负责建造
大钟。此钟不但外型巨大，而且走时也非常准确。格林尼治天文台的
官员们 每天两次派人矫正此钟。当大钟打点的时候，你能够从英国广
播公司的广播中听到，因为钟塔上接了麦克 风。“大本”钟很多出差
错。不过有一次，它却把时间报错。在钟塔上干活的一位油漆工把一
只 油漆桶挂在了一根指针上，把钟弄慢了！
