大本钟英文介绍The Big Ben is a famous clock tower, located in London, United Kingdom. The iconic clock tower and its bells have been a symbol of the city for centuries and has become a world-famous landmark.The Big Ben was constructed by architects Charles Barry and Augustus Pugin between 1843 and 1859 and is currently the third tallest clock tower in the world. It stands at a height of 316 feet (96 m), which is equivalent to 81 meters. The main clock face is 7 metres (23 ft) in diameter, while the clock hands measure 14 metres (44 ft) long.At the base of the clock tower is a large bell, popularly known as the Big Ben, that chimes every 15 minutes with the Westminster Quarters — an arrangement of four traditional bell-ringing melodies. The bell has a diameter of 2.2 metres (7 ft 3 in) and weighs 13.5 metric tons (15 US tons). Thebell is also accompanied by four smaller quarter bells, which sound on the quarter hour.The clockfaces are illuminated at night to show the time accurately and can be seen from a quite far distance. The clock tower also features sculptures of monarchs from past times, a lion and a unicorn, underlining the British origins of the structure.In addition to being a major tourist attraction, the Big Ben is also a valuable part of the British culture, marking important occasions such as New Year’s Eve, Christmas Day and Remembrance Sunday, among others.

These days, the name Big Ben is frequently used to describe the tower, one of the capital's most photographed sites, but the nickname was first given to the bell alone.

英国伦敦著名古钟，即威斯敏斯特宫报时钟,英国国会 会议厅附属的钟楼，建于1859年。安装在西敏寺桥北 议会大厦东侧高95米的钟楼上，钟楼四面的圆形钟盘， 直径为6.7米，是伦敦的传统地标。2012年6月，英国 宣布将把伦敦著名地标“大本钟”的钟楼改名为“伊丽 莎白塔”。
大本钟的介绍
存在问题 不明原因突然停走 “大本钟”于2005年5月27日晚突然停走了一个半小时。技术人员现在还不明白这 座有着147年历史的大钟为何“罢工”？ 英国议会大厦一名工程师28日说，位于议 会大厦东侧高95米的钟楼上的大本钟在当地时间27日晚10时07分出现了故障，其分 针停止转动。接着，分针开始缓慢转动，在10时20分又停了一次。这一 停就是1个 半小时，此后才恢复了正常。 一些人猜测说，可能是炎热的天气造成了这一问题。28日伦敦的最高气温达到了 31.8℃。气象部门说，这是自1953年以来英格兰地区5月份中最炎热的一天。但那 名议会大厦工程师认为，这一说法缺乏依据。“我们得知有一点小故障，但接着它 就再次开始运转，”他说。 大本钟一向以其准时而闻名。二战中纳粹德国对伦敦的狂轰滥炸也未能将它摧毁。 不过，毕竟是有着一百多岁的“高龄”，它也出过一些小问题。例如1962年元旦， 一场大雪就让它的零点钟声比正常时间晚了10分钟。1976年，由于一个小零件出毛 病，大本钟也一度停摆。此外，1997年8月30日，它也意外地停走。 每三天失去动力 在2009年5月31日，大本钟度过了它150岁的生日，而在1859年7月11日，大本钟则 首次整点报时。据负责大本钟的英国钟表师说，大本钟每三天就失去动力了，所以 他们每周必须爬上去三次，为它上弦。同时他们可以通过调整钟摆上方放置的小钱 币，调整大本钟走时的快慢。比如增加1便士硬币，就相当于一天把表调快了0.4秒。 看来，时间就是金钱，在大本钟上倒是体现的不错（1英镑=100新便士）
简介 大本钟（英语：Big Ben）(或翻译成大笨钟、大鹏钟)， 即威斯敏斯特宫钟塔，英国国会会议厅附属的钟楼 (Clock Tower) 的大报时钟的昵称。 大本钟坐落在英国伦敦泰晤士河畔， 是世界上最大的 哥特式建筑。英国最高立法机构——国会上、下议院都 设在这里，所以大本钟也称议会大厦或国会大厦。

◆Structure ◆Reliability ◆Culture
The main bell
The main bell, officially known as the Great Bell, is the largest bell in the tower and part of the Great Clock of Westminster. The bell is better known by the nickname Big Ben.
Instead of using the deadbeat escapement and remoter as originally designed, Denison invented the double three-legged gravity escapement. This escapement provides the best separation between pendulum and clock mechanism. Together with an enclosed, wind-proof box sunk beneath the clock room, the Great Clock's pendulum is well isolated from external factors like snow, ice and pigeons on the clock hands, and keeps remarkably accurate time.
Clock Tower
……
The Clock Tower is a turret clock
structure at the north-eastern end of the Houses of Parliament building in Westminster, London, England. It is popularly known as Big Ben, but this name is actually
The clock mechanism itself was completed by 1854, but the tower was not fully constructed until four years later in 1858.
The clock and dials were designed by Augustus Pugin. During World War II, the Palace of Westminster was hit by German bombing , destroying the House of Commonsand causing damage to the tower's western clock face.
Other bells
Along with the main bell, the belfry houses four quarter bells which play the Westminster Quarters on the quarter hours. The four quarter bells are G sharp, F sharp, E, and B. Because the low bell (B) is struck twice in quick succession, there is not enough time to pull a hammer back, and it is supplied with two hammers on opposite sides of the bell.
Despite heavy bombing the clock ran accurately throughout the Blitz. It slowed down on New Year's Eve 1962 due to heavy snow, causing it to chime in the new year 10 minutes late.
The first 61 meters of the structure is the clock tower, consisting of brickwork with stone cladding; the remainder of the tower's height is a framed spire of cast iron. The tower is founded on a 15 by 15 meter raft, made of 3-metre thick concrete,at a depth of 7 meters below ground level. The four clock faces are 55 meters above ground.

Clock faces
返回
The clock faces were once large enough to allow the Clock Tower to be the largest four-faced clock in the world.
Due to ground conditions present since construction, the tower leans slightly to the north-west, by roughly 220 millimeters .Due to thermal effects it oscillates annually by a few millimeters east and west.
Big Ben can be used in the classroom to demonstrate the difference between the speed of light and the speed of sound. If a person visits London and stands at the bottom of the clock tower, they will hear the chimes of Big Ben approximately 1/6 of a second later than the bell being struck
Structure
The tower was raised as a part of Charles Barry's design for a new palace, after the old Palace of Westminster was destroyed by fire on the night of October 16, 1834. The tower is designed in the Victorian Gothic style, and is 96.3 meters high.
An image of the clock tower was also used as the logo for London Films.
The clock has become a symbol for the United Kingdom and London, particularly in the visual media. When a television or film-maker wishes to quickly convey to a non-UK audience a generic location in Britain, a popular way to do so is to show an image of Big Ben, often with a Route master bus or Hackney carriage in the foreground. The sound of the clock chiming has also been used this way in audio media, but as the Westminster Quarters are heard from many other clocks and other devices, the unique nature of this particular sound has been considerably diluted.
On 29 October 2005, the mechanism was stopped for approximately 33 hours so that the clock and its chimes could be worked on. It was the lengthiest maintenance shutdown in 22 years.

Big Ben is a focus of New Year celebrations in the United Kingdom, with radio and TV stations tuning to its chimes to welcome the start of the year.
