『壹』 大本鍾中英文介紹
大本鍾
大笨鍾,或大本鍾(Big Ben),即威斯敏斯特宮鍾塔,英國國會會議廳附屬的鍾樓 (Clock Tower) 的大報時鍾的昵稱。是坐落在英國倫敦泰晤士河畔的一座鍾樓,是倫敦的標志性建築之一。鍾樓高95米,鍾直徑9英尺,重13.5噸。每15分鍾響一次。
大笨鍾的命名來源眾說紛紜,有一種說法稱大本鍾的名字來自於本傑明·豪爾爵士。
大鍾於1858年4月10日建成,是英國最大的鍾。塔起碼有320英尺高(約合97.5米),分針有14英尺長(約合4.27米),大笨鍾用人工發條,國會開會期間,鍾面會發出光芒,每隔一小時報時一次。
每年的夏季與冬天時間轉換時會把鍾停止,進行零件的修補、交換,鍾的調音等。
文化
在英國,大本鍾是人們慶祝新年的重點地方,收音機和電視都會播出它的鍾聲來迎接新一年的開始。同樣地,在陣亡將士紀念日,大本鍾鍾聲的傳出表示第11個月的第11天的第11個小時及2分鍾的默哀開始。
獨立電視新聞的「十時新聞報告」以一連串的大本鍾鍾聲作新聞預告的配樂作開始已很多年。大本鍾的鍾聲今天仍會用於所有獨立電視新聞 新聞快報的新聞預告,及威斯敏斯特宮大本鍾的鍾面圖。從1923年12月31日開始,大本鍾的鍾響亦可在於英國廣播公司第四台的一些新聞布告(6時正、半晚及星期天的晚上10時正)的一小時前及英國廣播公司國際廣播部聽到。鍾聲是經由長期設置在鍾樓內而連接著廣播大樓的擴音器傳送的。
大本鍾可用來說明光速和音速的分別。如果一個人到了倫敦並站在鍾樓下,他會聽到大本鍾的鍾聲比那鍾被敲響時的時間慢約是六分之一秒(假定鍾在高55米之處)。可是如果把一個擴音器放在鍾附近並用無線電把鍾聲傳至很遠的地方(像紐約市或香港般),那地方會比那站在鍾樓下的人更早聽到鍾聲。事實上,如果接收者把那鍾聲發回給在地面的那觀察者,無線電傳送那鍾聲會比那觀察者聽到真正鍾聲時更快。(例如:紐約市距倫敦5,562公里,而無線電會在0.018552秒內把鍾聲傳至紐約市;來回共需0.037105秒,但原來的鍾聲卻需0.1616秒才能達到地面)
鍾樓的圖像亦曾被用作倫敦電影的標志。
Clock Tower, Palace of Westminster
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 a nickname for the clock『s main bell. The tower has also been referred to as St. Stephen『s Tower or The Tower of Big Ben, in reference to its bell.
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 metres (316 feet) high.
The first 61 metres (250 feet) 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 metre (49 by 49 foot) raft, made of 3-metre

THE STORY OF BIG BEN
(沒有中文翻譯,反正也不是難的句子,看一下就能懂的)
At 9'-0" diameter, 7'-6" high, and weighing in at 13 tons 10 cwts 3 qtrs 15lbs (13,760 Kg), the hour bell of the Great Clock of Westminster - known worldwide as 'Big Ben' - is the most famous bell ever cast at Whitechapel. This picture, painted by William T. Kimber, the head moulder responsible for casting the bell, shows George Mears with his wife and daughter inspecting the casting prior to despatch. Big Ben was cast on Saturday 10th April 1858, but its story begins more than two decades earlier....
On 16th October 1834, fire succeeded where Guy Fawkes and his fellow plotters had failed on 5th November 1605, and destroyed the Palace of Westminster, long the seat of the British government. Those few bits of the Old Palace that survived the fire - most notably Westminster Hall, which was built between 1097 and 1099 by William Rufus - were incorporated into the new buildings we know today, along with many new features.
Big Ben remains the largest bell ever cast at Whitechapel. Visitors to the foundry pass through a full size profile of the bell that frames the main entrance as they enter the building. The original moulding gauge employed to form the mould used to cast Big Ben hangs on the end wall of the foundry above the furnaces to this very day.
Among the gift items available from Whitechapel Bell Foundry are a finely detailed miniature of the bell itself and an illustrated booklet about Big Ben. These can both be found on our merchandising page.

大本鍾
大本鍾(Big Ben,坐標:51°30′02.2〃N, 00°07′28.6〃W),或稱大笨鍾,即威斯敏斯特宮(Palace of Westminster)鍾塔,英國國會會議廳附屬的鍾樓 (Clock Tower) 的大報時鍾的昵稱。位於威斯敏斯特橋的南面橋頭,與英國議會大廈相連,英國議會大廈的北角,鍾樓高79米,鍾樓四面的圓形鍾盤,直徑為6.7米,是倫敦的傳統地標。坐地鐵可以在威斯敏斯特橋站下車。作為倫敦市的標志以及英國的象徵,大本鍾巨大而華麗,重13.5噸,四個鍾面的面積有兩平方米左右。大本鍾從1859年就為倫敦城報時,根據格林尼治時間每隔一小時敲響一次,至今將近一個半世紀,盡管這期間大本鍾曾兩度裂開而重鑄。現在大本鍾的鍾聲仍然清晰、動聽。
概述
1859年,大鍾由當時的英王工務大臣本傑明·霍爾爵士監制,鑄造時耗資2.7萬英鎊。「大本」鍾被視為倫敦的象徵,凡到倫敦觀光的人,無不想到鍾樓周圍,站在議會橋上欣賞倫敦這個獨具一格的建築。1834年整個西敏被大火所毀,目前的這座97米高的鍾樓是1837年維多利亞女王登基時建造的。大鍾造於1856年,以建造工程的第一名監督官本傑明爵士的名字命名,叫"BIG BEN"(大本鍾)。1857年該鍾出現裂痕,於1859年重新鑄造。。
大本鍾的確有些笨重.鍾盤的直徑為7米,有四個鍾面,時針和分針的長度分別為2.75米和4.27米,鍾擺重305公斤,大鍾總重量為13.5噸.
英國議會大廈原來並沒有鑲嵌大本鍾,1834年,因有人在議會大廈爐子里大量焚燒政府文件而引起火災,把大廈夷為平地.1840年議會大廈開始重建,大本鍾1859年建於議會大廈主體的東北角,由當時的工務大臣本傑明·霍爾爵士監制,耗資2.7萬英鎊,為了紀念他的功績,取名為大本鍾,本是本傑明的昵稱.
根據格林尼治時間,大本鍾每隔一個小時報時一次,報時聲深沉渾厚,方圓數英里之外都能聽到其鍾聲的回響.大本鍾裝有麥克風,與英國廣播公司(BBC)相連,因此每當大鍾報時,人們都能從BBC的廣播中聽到其鏗鏘有力的聲音.
這個鍾鑄造好以後,給它取什麼名字的問題難倒了英國君臣,有一個大臣悄悄地說「就叫『大本』算了。」——原來鑄鍾大臣姓「本」,後來大家都把這口鍾叫「大本」了,也就是「大笨」了。
「大本鍾」於2005年5月27日晚突然停走了1個多小時。技術人員現在還不明白這座有著147年歷史的大鍾為何「罷工」? 英國議會大廈一名工程師28日說,位於議會大廈東側高95米的鍾樓上的大本鍾在當地時間27日晚10時07分出現了故障,其分針停止轉動。接著,分針開始緩慢轉動,在10時20分又停了一次。這一 停就是1個半小時,此後才恢復了正常。
一些人猜測說,可能是炎熱的天氣造成了這一問題。28日倫敦的最高氣溫達到了31.8攝氏度。氣象部門說,這是自1953年以來英格蘭地區5月份中最炎熱的一天。但那名議會大廈工程師認為,這一說法缺乏依據。「我們得知有一點小故障,但接著它就再次開始運轉,」他說。
大本鍾一向以其准時而聞名。二戰中納粹德國對倫敦的狂轟濫炸也未能將它摧毀。不過,畢竟是有著一百多歲的「高齡」,它也出過一些小問題。例如1962年元旦,一場大雪就讓它的零點鍾聲比正常時間晚了10分鍾。

Big Ben is the nickname for the great bell of the clock at the north end of the Palace of Westminster in London,[1] and often extended to refer to the clock and the clock tower.[2] The tower is now officially called the Elizabeth Tower, after being renamed to celebrate the Diamond Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II. The Elizabeth Tower holds the largest four-facedchiming clock in the world and is the third-tallest free-standing clock tower.[3] The tower was completed in 1858 and had its 150th anniversary on 31 May 2009,[4] ring which celebratory events took place.[5][6] The Elizabeth Tower has become one of the most prominent symbols of both London and England and is often in the establishing shot of films set in the city.
大本鍾(英語:Big Ben,或翻譯成大笨鍾、大鵬鍾)是英國國會會議廳附屬鍾樓的大報時鍾的昵稱,也常代指該鍾所在的鍾樓 。[1]
大本鍾坐落在英國倫敦泰晤士河畔的威斯敏斯特宮鍾塔上,是倫敦的標志之一。鍾樓高95米,鍾直徑9英尺,重13.5噸。每15分鍾響一次,敲響威斯敏斯特鍾聲。自從興建地鐵朱比利線之後,大本鍾受到影響,最近測量顯示大本鍾朝西北方向傾斜約半米[2]。
大本鍾的命名來源眾說紛紜,有一種說法稱大本鍾的名字來自於本傑明·豪爾爵士。
大鍾於1858年4月10日建成,是英國最大的鍾。塔起碼有320英尺高(約合97.5米),分針有14英尺長(約合4.27米),大本鍾用人工發條,國會開會期間,鍾面會發出光芒,每隔一小時報時一次。每年的夏季與冬天時間轉換時會把鍾停止,進行零件的修補、交換,鍾的調音等。
大本鍾的可靠性毋庸置疑,自從建成,倫敦格林威治天文台的官員每天兩次派人校對此鍾。不過有一次它把時間報錯了,因為一名在大本鍾上作業的油漆粉刷工在鍾面上掛了一個油漆桶,把鍾弄慢了。
2009年6月1日,歡慶啟用150周年。2012年6月26日,英國政府宣布為慶祝伊麗莎白二世登基60周年,將大本鍾所在的鍾樓正式改名為伊麗莎白塔。

ig Ben is the nickname for the Great Bell of the clock at the north end of the Palace of Westminster in London[1] and is usually extended to refer to both the clock and the clock tower.[2][3] The official name of the tower in which Big Ben is located was originally the Clock Tower, but it was renamed Elizabeth Tower in 2012 to mark the Diamond Jubilee of Elizabeth II.
The tower was designed by Augustus Pugin in a neo-gothic style. When completed in 1859, its clock was the largest and most accurate four-faced striking and chiming clock in the world.[4] The tower stands 315 feet (96 m) tall, and the climb from ground level to the belfry is 334 steps. Its base is square, measuring 39 feet (12 m) on each side. Dials of the clock are 23 feet (7.0 m) in diameter. On 31 May 2009, celebrations were held to mark the tower's 150th anniversary.[5]
Big Ben is the largest of five bells and weighs 13.54 long tons (13.8 tonnes; 15.2 short tons).[1] It was the largest bell in the United Kingdom for 23 years. The origin of the bell's nickname is open to question; it may be named after Sir Benjamin Hall, who oversaw its installation, or heavyweight boxing champion Benjamin Caunt. Four quarter bells chime at 15, 30 and 45 minutes past the hour and just before Big Ben tolls on the hour. The clock uses its original Victorian mechanism, but an electric motor can be used as a backup.
The tower is a British cultural icon recognised all over the world. It is one of the most prominent symbols of the United Kingdom and parliamentary democracy,[6] and it is often used in the establishing shot of films set in London.[7] The clock tower has been part of a Grade I listed building since 1970 and a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1987.
On 21 August 2017, a four-year schele of renovation works began on the tower, which are to include the addition of a lift. There are also plans to re-glaze and repaint the clock dials. With a few exceptions, such as New Year's Eve and Remembrance Sunday, the bells are to be silent until the work has been completed in the 2020s.

『拾』 關於大本鍾的簡介,要英語的,簡單一點
The Big Ben is located in the tower at the eastern end of the Houses of Parliament, Westminster, Greater London. It was designed by Edmund Beckett and Baron Grimthorpe.
The Big Ben is very famous throughout the world, but nobody really knows why it is called Big Ben. There are two hearsays about this. Some people say that it was named after Benjamin Caunt, a boxer, who was called Big Ben. More people believe it was called after Welshman, Sir Benjamin Hall. He was the commissioner of the work at the time of its installation in 1859. A story was told that ring a debate in the Commons on what to call the bell, Sir Benjamin was about to give his ideas when a MP who sat behind the front bench shouted, "Let's call it Big Ben!" Then this name came into being.
The bell hasn't gone through a smooth road since the beginning of its design. Because there was great disagreement about the design of the clock, it took fifteen years to build. In 1857, the bell was completed and tested on the ground, but a four-foot crack appeared and the bell had to be cast again. Finally, the clock started ticking on 31 May, 1859, and struck its first chime on 11, July. Then in September, the bell cracked again. It was silent for four years but was eventually turned a quarter of a revolution. In this way, the crack was not under the striking hammer. Craftsmen made a square above the crack to stop it graving longer and it can still be seen today.
The Big Ben is famous not only for its 13-ton weight, but also for its accuracy which is a result of its precise mechanism. Even one extra penny's weight on the balance will cause a gain of two fifths of a second in twenty four hours. Although there have been several problem, the bell is still striking today. Its chimes can be heard all over the world on the B.B.C.
