Big Ben's story starts in 1834. In that year the old Parliament building burned down. Its clock tower (塔) crashed (倒下) to the ground. There had to be a new building-and a new clock.
Plans were made. They called for a “king of clocks, the biggest and best in the world. ” So the clock had to be big. And it had to keep very good time.
Some people said, “No one can make such a clock. ”They were wrong. The big clock was made in two years. But it couldn't be put in the tower. The tower wasn't even built!
Five more years went by before the clock tower was finished. Then the four bells for the chimes (钟声) were brought into the tower. And at last the giant (巨大) hour bell (铃) was put in place. It rang out for the first time on July 11, 1859.
This great bell had to have a name. A meeting of Parliament was called to pick one. “The clock is the king of clocks. ” one man said, “Let's call the bell the queen of Bells. ”
“Then why not Victoria?” said another. (Victoria was the British queen at that time. )
The talk about names went on and on. Then Benjamin Hall got up to speak. He was a big man that the others liked. By this time they were all tired. Someone shouted, “Why not call it Big Ben and be done with it?”
Everybody laughed, and the meeting broke up. But Big Ben it was from then on. Not just the bell, but the whole clock.
