 Big Ben 大本钟


Big Ben is not the name of a man. It is a name of the clock. It is in London. London is the capital city of England. The big clock has four faces. So no matter where you stand, you can read the face of the clock. The hands are about four meters long. If you go to London, you may want to visit the house of the Parliament 1. In that place you will find Big Ben sits at the top of the clock tower in the House of the Parliament. The big clock makes a very loud noise. “Ding dong. Ding dong”- the clock strikes 2 every quarter of an hour.
大本钟不是一个人的名字,它是钟的名字,它在伦敦。伦敦是英国的首都。大本钟有四个面,因此无论站在哪里,你都能见到钟面。大本钟的指针大约4米长。 如果你去伦敦,你可能想要参观议会大厦。在那里,你会发现,大本钟就坐落在议会大厦楼顶的钟楼里,大本钟的声音很大,“叮咚,叮咚”,每15分钟敲一次。
