英文回答：
Big Ben is the nickname for the Great Bell of Westminster, one of the largest bells in the world, and is housed in Elizabeth Tower (formerly known as the Clock Tower) at the Palace of Westminster in London. The tower is 316 feet (96 meters) tall and contains a four-faced clock that is one of the most famous landmarks in the world.
The bell was cast in 1858 and weighs over 13 tons. It was originally named "Victoria" after Queen Victoria, but
it was later renamed "Big Ben" in honor of Sir Benjamin Hall, the First Commissioner of Works at the time. The bell first rang on July 11, 1859, and it has been ringing ever since, except for a few brief periods when it was being repaired.
The clock face is 23 feet (7 meters) in diameter and is made of opal glass. The hands of the clock are made of
copper and are 9 feet (3 meters) long. The clock is powered by a gravity-driven pendulum that weighs over 600 pounds.
Big Ben is a popular tourist destination and is often featured in films and television shows. It is also a symbol of London and is used to mark important events, such as New Year's Eve and Remembrance Day.
