有谁能帮我翻译下啊.
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 House of Parliament had not been burned down, it 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.
当你参观伦敦,你首先看到的将会是大本钟.大本钟享誉世界,世界各地的人们通过英国广播公司(BBC)来聆听大本钟报时声.如果不是国会被烧光,大本钟是不会被建立起来的.大本钟得名于Benjamin Hall先生.当新国会正在被修建的时候,他负责了大本钟的建造.大本钟不仅体积庞大,而且它报时非常的准确.格林尼治天文台的官员每天会对大本钟调试两次.通过BBC你可以听到它报时敲击的声音.这是因为塔上安装了麦克风.大本钟几乎没有出过错.然后有一次大本钟误报了时间.一个粉刷匠在粉刷大本钟时将涂料放在了大本钟的一个指针上,因此大本钟就走的很慢.
这是新概念英语2中的一片文章 就叫做the Big Ben
