从下周一中午开始,英国伦敦的大本钟将停止敲钟报时,接受维修。英国政府投入2900万英镑,用于维修伊丽莎白塔和坐落其中的大本钟。作为伦敦标志性建筑之一,大本钟敲钟报时已达157年之久。维修期间,除了新年等重要节日外,大本钟将“保持静音”,预计其再次常规报时将是在2021年。
Big Ben will fall silent next week for four years as "major conservation works" are carried out on the tower which houses the bell, UK Parliament announced Monday.
英国国会周一宣布,由于大本钟所在的伊丽莎白塔开始大规模维修翻新,大本钟从下周起会停响,并且将“静音”四年。
