英国大本钟的英文介绍：

The Elizabeth Tower, formerly known as Big Ben, is the clock tower of the Palace of Westminster, one of the world's most famous Gothic buildings, and the iconic building of London. 

The big newspaper clock of the clock tower attached to the British Parliament Chamber, in June 2012, the British announced the change of the clock tower of London's famous landmark "Big Ben" to "Elizabeth Tower".

The Elizabeth Tower is a clock tower on the banks of the River Thames in London, England, and is one of London's landmarks. The clock tower is 95 meters high, with a diameter of 7 meters and a weight of 13.5 tons. 

Ringing every 15 minutes, ringing the Westminster bell. Since the construction of the subway Jubilee line, the Elizabeth Tower was affected and measurements showed that the Elizabeth Tower was tilted about half a meter northwest.

翻译：

伊丽莎白塔，旧称大本钟，即威斯敏斯特宫钟塔，世界上著名的哥特式建筑之一，伦敦的标志性建筑。英国国会会议厅附属的钟楼的大报时钟，2012年6月，英国宣布把伦敦著名地标“大本钟”的钟楼改名为“伊丽莎白塔”。

伊丽莎白塔是坐落在英国伦敦泰晤士河畔的一座钟楼，是伦敦的标志性建筑之一。钟楼高95米，钟直径7米，重13.5吨。每15分钟响一次，敲响威斯敏斯特钟声。自从兴建地铁Jubilee线之后，伊丽莎白塔受到影响，测量显示伊丽莎白塔朝西北方向倾斜约半米。

扩展资料：

英国伦敦泰晤士河畔，4名专业清洁工从威斯敏斯特宫钟楼顶部沿着绳子慢慢下滑，开始给大本钟“洗澡”。大本钟上次“洗澡”是在2010年。

按照计划，整个“洗澡”工程需要5天。这几名专业人士一天清洗大本钟的一个面，4面就是4天，再加一天以防天气变化，毕竟在95.7米高处作业有一定危险。

“洗澡”时，大本钟钟面上的指针不再运转，但仍然计时，每15分钟响一次。因此，清洁人员必须戴着耳塞，以免听力受损。

英国《每日邮报》18日援引大本钟管理人员史蒂夫·贾格斯的话报道：“清洗是一项复杂工程，得悬在相当高的地方??我们有一支专业队伍会彻底清洁大本钟。”

除清洗外，技术人员还会对大本钟进行摄影测量，检查钟面的损坏程度。大本钟每个钟面都由312块坩埚熔制乳浊玻璃组成，嵌在铸铁框架内。

大本钟所处钟楼又名伊丽莎白塔，于1859年4月落成，最初因铸铁指针太沉重而无法走时，把指针换成较轻的铜后，才于同年5月31日开始走时。如今，大本钟已经成为伦敦的标志之一，也是伦敦人迎接新年的主要欢庆地。

The name Big Ben was first given to a 14.5 tonne (16 ton) hour bell, cast on 10 April 1856 in Stockton-on-Tees by Warner's of Cripplegate. The bell was never officially named, but the legend on it records that the commissioner of works, Sir Benjamin Hall, was responsible for the order; another theory is that the bell may have been named after heavyweight boxer Benjamin Caunt who was popular at the time. There's also a story that the bell was to be called "Victoria" in honour of Queen Victoria, but the ceremonial speeches went on so long that some joker shouted out "Oh just call it Big Ben and have done with it!" and the name stuck.

Since the tower was not yet finished, the bell was mounted in New Palace Yard but the bell cracked under the striking hammer, and its metal was recast at the Whitechapel Bell Foundry as the 13.76 tonne (13.54 ton (long), 15.17 ton (short) bell and standing at (2.2 metres high with a diameter of 2.9 metres) which is in use today. The new bell, which chimes on E, was mounted in the tower in 1859 alongside four quarter-hour bells, the ring of bells that ring the familiar changes.
