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!

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.

到伦敦参观，你很快就会看见大本钟。通过英国广播公司的广播，世界各地都能听见这座名钟的钟声。 如果1834年议会大厦没有被烧毁，这座大钟就不会建起来。它以本杰明·霍尔爵士的名字命名；新议会大厦修建时，他负责监督大钟的制作。 大本钟不仅体积庞大，而且走时极准。格林尼治天文台的工作人员每天会检查两次。 钟楼里装有麦克风，所以人们可以通过英国广播公司的广播，实时听见它报时。 大本钟很少出问题，不过有一次，它没能报出准确时间。 一位在钟楼上干活的油漆工，把一罐油漆挂在了一根指针上，竟把钟拖慢了！

学完这一课

先沿这条线复述《一个著名的大钟》：伦敦的著名钟声 → 火灾与名字的来历 → 巨大而且准时 → 钟声怎样传向世界 → 也有一次出了差错 → 小小油漆罐拖慢大钟。再借一个结构讲自己的事：先写现实结果，再换一个过去条件，推想结果会怎样改变。
