大本钟的负责人史蒂夫•贾格斯在一份声明中表示:“大本钟停响是这个重点维修工程的重要里程碑。本次维修将保证大本钟以后能长期正常运转,同时也保护和修整了大本钟所在的伊丽莎白塔。”
Big Ben is the name of the bell inside the tower (St. Stephen's Tower, renamed Elizabeth Tower in 2017), and not the building or the clock (simply known as the Great Clock) itself.
大本钟是伊丽莎白塔(原名圣史提芬塔,2017年改名为伊丽莎白塔)内钟楼的名字,而不是塔楼或古钟本身的名字(古种的名字就叫“大钟”)。
The chimes were last silent in 2007 during maintenance, and before that from 1983-1985 during a period of refurbishment.
大本钟上一次“静音”是在2007年的维修期间。在1983至1985年间翻新期间,它也曾停响过。
Londoners needn't worry though; Big Ben will continue to chime for "important national events" such as New Year's Eve and Remembrance Sunday.
但是伦敦市民并不需要担心,因为在碰上除夕夜、阵亡将士纪念日等“国家大事”时,大本钟还是会按时响起。
