巨石阵
• 在英格兰东南部的索兹伯里附近，有个叫阿姆斯伯里的小村庄世界闻名。著 名的史前遗迹巨石阵就矗立在这里。这个巨大的石建筑群位于一个空旷的原 野上，占地大约11公顷，主要是由许多整块的蓝砂岩组成，每块约重50吨。 这些石柱排成圆形，最高的石柱高达10米，不少横架在两根竖直的石柱上。 巨石阵不仅在建筑学史上具有的重要地位，在天文学上也同样有着重大的意 义：它的主轴线、通往石柱的古道和夏至日早晨初升的太阳，在同一条线上； 另外，其中还有两块石头的连线指向冬至日落的方向。因此，人们猜测，这 很可能是远古人类为观测天象而建。

大本钟
龙源期刊网 大本钟作者：汪隽来源：《中学生英语·阅读与写作》2014年第12期英国伦敦著名古钟或称大本钟（Big Ben），即威斯敏斯特宫报时钟，它位于英国国会会议厅附属的钟楼，建于1859年。
大本钟是伦敦的传统地标。
大本钟的来历大本钟（Big Ben）被视为伦敦的象征，凡到伦敦观光的人都想看看大本钟，站在桥上欣赏伦敦这个独具一格的建筑。
目前的这座97米高的钟楼是1837年维多利亚女王登基时建造的。
大钟造于1856年，以建造工程的第一名监督官本杰明爵士的名字命名，叫“BIG BEN”（大本钟）。
大本钟是向全世界报告标准时间的大钟，它安放在伦敦泰晤士河畔议会大夏东北角的钟楼（the Clock Tower）的顶端，每隔15分钟报时一次。
说起大本钟这个名称的来历，还有一段有趣的故事。
Big Ben于1859年7月1日敲起第一响钟声。
为给这个大钟起个名字，当时的英国议会专门召开一次会议。
会上，议员们感到十分疲倦。
这时，人们看到大本钟的监制者（Sir Benjamin）本杰明爵士站起来发言。
他身材高大，历来受大家的敬重。
突然，有人大声喊道：“为什么不干脆叫Big Ben呢？”这一喊，引起了与会者的笑声，会议也随之结束。
从此，Big Ben（Ben是Benjamin的昵称）就成为这个大钟的芳名。
汉语把Big Ben译为“大笨钟”也颇具趣味，因为Big Ben在1859年制成时，笨不可言，单内部传动机械就重达13.5吨。
每周上弦两次，每次需由健壮汉子用脚连续猛蹬几个小时，确实是个“大笨钟”。
译名中“大”取其形“big”，因为大钟四面各有直径为2.8米左右的圆盘，用312块乳白玻璃拼镶；“笨”则于Ben谐音，其中还有点淡淡的幽默，如此译来，真是妙不可言。
该钟于1913年改为电动，与“笨”告别。
1923年开始为英国广播公司（BBC）播送钟声。
现在，世界各地收音机里听到的伦敦台钟声，便是由这个Big Ben发出的。

1.Big Ben 大本钟The iconic clock tower housing the bell known as Big Ben is one of the most recognizable sights in London, poised as it is on the bank of the Thames River, highlighting both the Houses of Parliament and Westminster Abbey. While the tower is not open to foreign visitors, the clock can be enjoyed and photographed from several angles at ground level and makes an excellent addition to a visit of nearby Westminster Abbey. There are often choral performances in the Abbey at four or five o’clock, dovetailing nicely with a visit to Big Ben.2.Tower Bridge 塔桥While not the famed London Bridge of the nursery rhyme, Tower Bridge is the city’s most ornate and recognizable bridge. Spanning the Thames with its dual towers and marking the site of the infamous Tower of London, Tower Bridge can be enjoyed by crossing its span in one of London’s ubiquitous taxi cabs, although it is best admired from the water. Visitors can book one of the many tour boats that cruise the Thames, beginning at theHouses of Parliament and ending at T ower Bridge, with incredible glimpses of famous city sights like St. Paul’s Cathedral and the Globe Theatre along the way.3.Stonehenge 巨石阵While certainly not the only stone circle in Britain, Stonehenge is the most famous, its compelling and atmospheric ruins offering a facet view of life in England’s mysterious past. Easily reached from London, Stonehenge makes a wonderful day trip, where visitors can tour the site and learn about its prehistoric builders at the nearby museum. Each June 21st, marking the Solstice, visitors are allowed to wander freely among the stones. Stonehenge forms only one part of a vast temple complex, as the Salisbury Plain is littered with ceremonial sites. The nearby and much older Woodhenge makes an interesting side trip of a visit to Stonehenge.4.Windsor Castle温莎城堡While Buckingham Palace is the residence of the Monarch while in London, Windsor Castle is the family home, even giving the current royal family their surname. Located just outside London, the castle hails from the time of William the Conqueror, and its resplendent state rooms filled with priceless art and historic treasures are open to the public. Visitors can also tour St. George’s Chapel, where the tombs of King Henry VIII, Queen Jane Seymour and other notable figures of British history can be found. At certain times of the day, visitors may be lucky enough to enjoy the formal Changing of the Guards.5.White Cliffs of Dover多佛白悬崖One of the most iconic sights in all of Britain, the White Cliffs of Dover rise high above the sea in gracefully undulating swells of brilliant white limestone chalk, creating an imposing naturalwall that extends for miles along the coast of Kent. Punctuated by pretty lighthouses and the sprawling outline of Dover Castle, the area holds a range of enticing sights. You can wander along the pathways that line the cliffs and admire the sea crashing several hundred feet below or try to catch a glimpse of the coast of France across the Channel on a clear day.6.St. Michael’s Mount圣迈克尔山On the Cornwall peninsula that forms the southernmost point of the British Isles, St. Michael’s Mount is a tidal island that offers a magical pathway from the mainland that is exposed as the tide recedes. The earliest buildings on the island date to 800 years ago, but developments in the 16th and 17th centuries gave the island its present form. An appealing castle can be explored, and the pretty gardens that frame the building house semi-tropical plants that grow in Cornwall’s relatively balmy climate. Visits to the Mount must be timed to the tides, and the coastal villages near the Mount offer a glimpse of England’s maritime past and offer quaint tea shops and pubs.7.Durdle Door杜德尔门This graceful limestone arch forms a spectacular focal point along the English county of Dorset’s famed Jurassic Coast. Golden sand frames a gentle bay where the rocky escarpment juts into the sea. An idyllic pathway winds down to the Durdle Door from West Lulworth, offering expansive views not only of the many interesting formations that line the coast, but also the limestone cliffs and vast, unforgettable views of the ocean. Thought to be named for the Old English word for “drill,” the Durdle Door has been the subject of poetry and art for more than a thousand years and makes a wonderful outdoor destination to visit.。

幼儿英语短文：大本钟BigBen
Big Ben is not the name of a man. It is a name of the clock. It is in London. London is the capital city of England. The big clock has four faces. So no matter where you stand, you can read the face of the clock. The hands are about four meter long.
If you go to London, you may want to visit the house of the Parliament. In that place you will find Big Ben sits at the top of the clock tower in the House of the Parliament. The big clock makes a very loud noise. “Ding dong. Ding dong”- the clock strikes every quarter of an hour.

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!【课文翻译】当你游览伦敦时，首先看到的东西之一就是“大本”钟，即那座从英国广播公司的广播中全世界都可以听到它的声音的著名大钟。
