Lesson 71 A famous clock 大本钟简介 　　英国伦敦著名古钟或称大本钟(Big Ben)，是伦敦的传统地标。 　　大本钟从1859年就为伦敦城报时，根据格林尼治时间每隔一小时敲响一次，至今将近一个半世纪，尽管这期间大本钟曾两度裂开而重铸。现在大本钟的钟声仍然清晰、动听。自从1859年投入使用后，英国政府每隔五年就要对大本钟实施维护，包括清洗钟体、替换大本钟的报时轮系和运转轮系等。 名称由来 　　大本钟得名于它在1859年修建时的建造者本杰明爵士(Benjamin Hall)，故名“大本”。 单词学习 parliament erect accurate official Greenwich observatory check microphone tower n. 议会，国会 v. 建起 adj. 准确的 官员，行政人员 n. 格林尼治 n. 天文台 v. 检查 n. 扩音器，麦克风 n. 塔 parliament 国会 the Houses of Parliament (英国的) 国会大厦 Member of Parliament 国会议员 Parliament meets regularly at New York.
