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 not 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 !

翻译：当你去伦敦旅游时，你第一眼看见的事物之一就是大本钟，在全世界都能听到的BBC节目中的著名时钟。如果国会大厦没有在1834年被烧毁，这个伟大的时钟将不会被树立。大本钟从他的建立者本杰明豪尔先生那里得到的名字，就在新的国会大厦被建造的期间。它并不仅仅是尺寸巨大，同样也非常准确。格林尼治天文台的官员每天两次去校准时间。在BBC，你能听见大本钟报时，因为大本钟的钟塔连接着麦克风。大本钟几乎不走错。然而有一次，它没有给出准确时间。一名在大本钟的钟塔上工作的画家在钟的表针上挂了一罐颜料，然后拖慢了它！
