高中英语人教版 (2019)必修 第二册Unit 4 History and traditions教案设计

大本钟是伦敦英国议会大厦的大钟的昵称。这个名字是为了纪念本杰明·霍尔爵士，1856年他负责大本钟的建造工作，持续了三年。现在大本钟已成为英国和伦敦的标志。

Big Ben is the nickname for the great bell of the clock in London.The name was given in honor of Sir Benjamin Hall，who was in charge of the work when the bell was built in 1856.It didn't strike until 3 years later.

 The clock has become a landmark of the United Kingdom and London，particularly in the visual media.When a television or film­maker wishes to quickly show a non­UK audience a certain location in Britain，a popular way to do so is to show an image of the Clock Tower.

 The Clock Tower is a focus of New Year celebrations in the United Kingdom，with radio and TV stations tuning to its chimes to welcome the start of the year.

 Londoners who live a proper distance from the Clock Tower and Big Ben can，by means of listening to the chimes both live and on the radio or television，hear the bell strike thirteen times on New Year's Eve.This is possible because the speed of sound is a lot slower than the speed of radio waves.

Big Ben has appeared in many films.In the 1978 version of The Thirty­Nine Steps，the hero attempted to halt the clock's progress to prevent a linked bomb blowing up by hanging from the minute hand of its western face.It was also used in the filming of Shanghai Knights starring Jackie Chan and Owen Wilson，and was described as being partially destroyed in the 2012 film Doctor Who.An animated version(卡通版) of the clock was also used as the setting in the Walt Disney film The Great Mouse Detective，and was shown being destroyed by a UFO in the film Mars Attacks!
