日前公布的伦敦地下和议会地产部门2009年度调查报告显示,近年来钟楼的下陷速度已经加快。
Engineers cannot explain why the tower's clock face moved up to an eighth of an inch (3.3mm) away from the vertical between November 2002 and August 2003.
至于在2002年11月到2003年8月间,钟楼的钟面为何偏离垂直位置上移达0.125英寸(3.3毫米),工程师们无从解释。
Since 2003, monitoring instruments show the tilt has increased 0.04in (0.9mm) a year, compared to the long-term average rate of just 0.025in (0.65mm) a year.
监测试备显示,与长期的平均水平每年0.025英寸(0.65毫米)相比,自2003年以来,钟楼每年的倾斜位置增加了0.04英寸(0.9毫米)。
The report, obtained by the Sunday Telegraph, revealed that the tower was now leaning towards the north-west at an angle of 0.26 degrees, meaning the top of the tower is 1ft 5in (435mm) from vertical.
据周日电讯报获得的报告显示,大本钟目前已经朝西北方向倾斜了0.26度,这就意味着钟楼的顶部已经偏离垂直位置1英尺5英寸(435毫米)。
Big Ben's movement has caused cracks in the walls of other parts of the House of Commons, including corridors where ministers and shadow ministers have their offices.
大本钟的倾斜运动还造成了下议院其它部分墙面出现裂纹,其中包括部长和影子部长办公室的走廊墙面。
