London symbol: the famous “Wallace” bell

“Big Ben” is located in the banks of the River Thames north of the parliament building, stands a tall clock tower, inlaid with a bell in the name of “Wallace.” Every one hour, the bell GMT issued under heavy sonorous beep, in a few miles away can be heard reverberating across the bell.

1859, the bell by the then King of the Public Works Minister Sir Jiemengheer producers, big bell with a total weight of 21 tons, at a cost of casting 27,000 pounds.

“Wallace” bell as a symbol of London, where London sightseeing, think of the clock tower all around, from the London parliament bridge appreciate this is a unique building.

In London, the British Parliament building on a Shuodaimopeng tower clock, weighing 13.5 tons, four minutes of each 23 feet in diameter, high above, the whole city look up to, London and the United Kingdom to become a landmark building. Thrilling film “39 steps” to 10 minutes for the scene, a soul-stirring interpretation of the life and death struggles of the world, more people have the impression it. This large bell mouth is often referred to as BigBen. In English, easily understood, musical BigBen to the Chinese, has on three out of the translation. Originally English-Chinese translation or transliteration or translation of the sound or mixed Italian translation, which led to more than one translation, is not surprising. But the bell mouth of the three Chinese translation of a translation and used the same translation音译still produced a different translation of the three, and all three have been translated into a wonderful symbiotic coexistence, a judicious contemporary English-Chinese Translation of wonders.

First translated as “Big Ben”, the bell made from the person responsible for the nickname Jiemengheer Sir, Walking name is the English name SirBen  jaminHall because build grown tall, it was a nickname from BigBen He also music properly. Benjamin Ben is the nickname, the “BigBen” Not only am having the Jazz, and tall bell tower after the completion of a large bell name. Ben and the foreign celebrities to the names of most of the sound, “this”, such as the founding fathers Benjamin Franklin BenjaminFranklin translation, Algeria’s first post-independence president BenBela to Ben Bella; Canadian sprinter Frank BenJonson translated as “the Johnson, “In addition, often used in Chinese such as” Lee “,” Yang, “and the nickname, which BigBen to” Wallace “Yin-Yi-Shun, appropriate extreme. “Wallace” who moved to the bell, it logical achievements of the “Big Ben.”

I am in the Foreign Languages Department of Xiamen University English Language and Literature student, the teacher, Professor Wu heart of the United States a strong tone, and Big Ben in a strong pause between Peixian rhythm. He taught me to the second translation - “Mirs bell”, then made a Zhanchiyufei action, it is difficult to forget. The England Capitol bell tower as high as 96 meters as she gazed up nondescript building, high above the clock back lining blue sky and white clouds, just like the Youth Pre-employment Training Mirs. In addition Belfry completed the mid-19th century, the British Empire sun at high noon, “Big Ben” seems inadequate translation of the British Empire that portrays the forces. “Peng” and Ben homonym, so to “Mirs bell” Integration is sound and meaning, but also to bring the Jilu: BigBen prestige. Titles title English-Chinese Translation, Chinese often unwilling dull, such as ATERLOOBRIDGE (Waterloo Bridge) to “Hunduanlanqiao”; BRIDGESOFMANDISONCOUNTY (Madison County Bridge) to the “Bridge of Madison County” and so on. Seen in this light, “Mirs bell,” a translation given BigBen bit Kunpeng Youth Pre-employment Training imagery have not overstepped the bounds.

Hiring, “the British Empire,” the word into the museums, skyscrapers commonplace around the world, Qianche Cheruniumao buildings, and then look at the 96 meters added, however Belfry, which BigBen themselves how much feeling, not that set in a large stone building on the clock place, a lovely old old you can, purely a stupid boss! Ben is “stupid!” So “Big Ben” came into being a translation. “Stupid” in the words we added the Taiwanese dialect in weight, called “stinky stupid,” more strongly emotional, but also bring a bit humorous and intimacy. If in the autumn of the old state cross on the bell, call “foul Ben” has been inadequate. But “Big Ben” from May 31, 1859 to tap deep浑厚bell began timekeeping has been 140 years since the dedication, said errors almost never have a second difference, is the bell Laojiang

In addition to the outstanding form, Big Ben is the greatest feature - accurate!

The beginning of construction, the Royal Astronomical officials on the requirements of each part-time bell ring for the first error does not exceed accurate to one second, with the cumbersome mechanical percussion devices, indicators of exposure to wind and rain Giant bell, it seems that this requirement is too harsh. Ultimately, however, Big Ben or in accordance with the requirements of the construction completed, and good performance. Each part-time clock hit, modelled on Cambridge St. Mary’s Church, the bell concert with the following words: “I hope this hour Banbanmiaomiao, God guided my previous visit to the main energy, bless Yamin safely . ”

The accuracy of the bell from the date of birth, it was strict requirements, the Royal Greenwich Observatory, twice daily to check the telegraph bell away. What is more, the Royal astronomers “pence” to adjust the time, said pence to the size, thickness adjust Big Ben is the most appropriate tool, therefore, the authority of the Royal astronomers will be a day of coins were formed to work ready to gear are still coins.

It is the efforts of astronomers, accurate clock operation for 117 years, only in 1941, was the bombing of Westminster Palace, the clock has been the emergence of a second short half of the error, even in the war meantime, the clock would only stop three times. This path accurate clock is the embodiment of the British rigour.

Now, in November the first Sunday 11:00 is condolences to the British servicemen killed in the Second World War times. When the bell Big Ben and relax throughout the whole city, the whole of London must stop traffic, and everyone脱帽肃立, amid the majestic Big Ben, as well as to freedom and peace of the martyrs and victims and pay high tribute.

In the reconstruction work, the project director proposed a plan to create a best of the world’s largest bell, it must be the king of the bell.

Since the Kingdom of Great Britain “m” word flag in the world, is not charged, then the bell reverberated over London should be the most melodious.

Government approval of the plan immediately, the Royal Astronomical Clock officials prepared the specifications for each part-time accurate to the ring for the first error of no more than one second.

With such a heavy mechanical percussion devices, the long exposure to wind and rain indicators of the giant bell, it seems that this requirement is too harsh.

Fisherman’s Wharf is San Francisco’s most popular destination and features the Pier 39 shopping / restuarant mall. A long coastal row of seafood restaurants, street vendors, and souvenir stores is combined with a major fishing pier. The wharf can be reached by cable car from Union Square. Most ferry rides take off from here to scenic Marin County. While popular, you may want to avoid a stay of over a few hours in Fisherman’s Wharf if you dislike crowds and “tourist traps”. However, Fisherman’s Wharf is great for a 1-2 hour (daytime) stop for fresh sourdough, seafood, and souvenirs for your friends back home. I also love riding on the $25 charter sail boats that leave from the wharf.

Fisherman’s Wharf really sucks, but you’ll go anyway– I guarantee it. Everybody who visits wants to come to this San Francisco landmark gone sour. The best thing is the sea lions on the side of a vile mall called Pier 39. There are a zillion sea lions and they bark and make noise a lot. It’s cool (the sea lions). But this area (the wharf) teems with tourists, crowds, rip-off artists, flim-flam’s, scams, and those extremely annoying people who offer to write you a ticket for having the best smile. Hold onto your wallet here and get out quick.   You’ll realize quickly you’ve made a wrong turn, but the temptation to come is almost unavoidable. 

Fisherman’s Wharf Central - Junction of Tourism

Top 5 Reasons Fisherman’s Wharf Sucks:

5.)  Crowds, crowds, crowds.  Pushy, rude tourists overflow the wharf streets.   If you want an intimate or unique experience — this is not the place to go.

4.)  Parking:   The Wharf’s main garage charges $6 per hour up to a maximum of $30.   There are few or no discount places for parking and street parking is a joke. 

3.)  Activities:  The basic Wharf scam is that people come for the boat tours, and end up with huge waits (up to all day) - and get stuck shopping and “dining”.  Here’s our best tip - you want the boat ride - the shopping is a waste of time and the restaurants………..(see below!)

2.)  Awful Food:  If I wanted to set up a restaurant to charge the highest prices — for the worst food — with a captive audience — Fisherman’s Wharf would be at the top of my list.  If you think you are dealing with a family fisherman’s restaurant taking fish out of the Bay and onto your plate — you’re in for a rude — and expensive awakening.

1.)  Scams:  From street “performers” who are just a hair from homeless panhandlers to a variety of questionable charitable organizations; timeshare marketers; etc.; etc. — this is the place to get talked out of your money.   Be wary at the Wharf and hold onto your wallet. 

Top 5 Reasons Fisherman’s Wharf is “Awesome”(?):

5.)  Sea Lions - The sea lions at Pier 39 are a very cool and totally unique experience.  If you are sucked into the wharf - do not miss the sea lions at Pier39.

4.)  Boat Tours:   The Wharf isn’t the point of why you are there - it is a takeoff point to cruise San Francisco Bay.   Don’t waste time at Fisherman’s Wharf without taking an Alcatraz tour boat or Bay Cruise. 

3.)  Fresh Street Crab:  Vendors selling fresh crab have high prices - but very fresh product.  Give it a try - it’s the Wharf’s original attraction for decades.

2.)  Convenient Location:   The Wharf is convenient to walk from downtown hotels for the very hardy and to a variety of public transit via bus and now historic streetcars.  It is also close to other popular attraction neighborhoods like North Beach’s Italian area and the Marina District. 

1.)  Breadth of Experiences:  They might not all be awesome experiences - but there are a lot of things to do at Fisherman’s Wharf.  From boat tours to restaurants to commercialized “museums” and souvenir shopping - there are many things to do there.

Every good thing supposedly attainable here is much better and cheaper elsewhere…. If you want seafood, check out our restaurant reviews. Safeway has great sourdough bread. Parking is beyond horrible. A huge parking structure is available at very creative prices. Many ferries do leave from here, which is a worthwhile reason to stop briefly.

When you’re ready to fight crowds for ice cream and chocolate - check out Ghiradelli Square and their chocolate shop - located right at the end of the wharf to get your energy pumping again….
R.K. writes on his great experience at the Wharf, “The Wharf is a GOOD place to take tourists, because of the Ripley’s Believe it or Not museum, and the Wax Museum, Ghirardeli Square, the sea lions, the clam chowder in a bread bowl, sidewalk entertainers, and the souvenirs (they don’t burn a hole in your wallet). I agree it’s not an accurate picture of San Francisco, but its a pretty fun place for kids and grownups. And the view of the Golden Gate Bridge and Alcatraz aint half bad!”

Sea Lions Chilling at the Wharf = Very Cool

M.C. writes with an opposing viewpoint, “I disagree with your review of the Wharf. Maybe because I went either early morning (after the Alcatraz tour) or later in the evening, but I thought it was beautiful!!! If it makes me a stupid tourist to be amazed by the fog and the fact that I couldn’t see Alcatraz from a sunny shore, so be it!!! I found it very relaxing as well as amazing to sit and watch the Sea Lions. Unlike New York, where I come from, I found very little gouging of prices on the tacky souvenirs I brought back for friends and family, and even better buys on the nicer things I purchased for myself. (prints, sweatshirts, t-shirts). “
