Question

第一节 语篇翻译

Big Ben(大本钟), will fall quiet for four years. 66.它是伦敦最受欢迎的地方之一。 But now it needs repairs. It has worked for 157 years. It sounded for the last time at noon on August 21 this year.

Four years would be a long time for London people. 67.Although they felt a little upset, they were still understanding. “It will be very sad, but it needs to be done,’ said Kirsten Hurrel. “68.I already prepared myself for the days without the rings for Big Ben.” About 2,5700 people went to hear Big Ben’s last rings. However, 69.如果有重要的事件，大本钟又会开始工作。 For example, it will spend the New Year’s Eve with its people and the speech of the Queen.

Well, this is not the first time in history that the bell has stopped. It stopped for repairs between 1983 and 1985, and again in 2007.

The bell is the largest bell in the country. It is about 13 tons, as heavy as two elephants. The repairs may cost about £ 29 million. By the year 2021 when it reappears, Big Ben will look totally newly-dressed. 70.“I believe most people in London are looking forward to that day,” said the chief engineer Adams White.
