S: Tom Tower! It is a bell tower in Christ Church College of the University of Oxford. The bell housed in the tower is named as Great Tom, which is the loudest bell in the whole Oxford. You may find that the tower is named for its bell!

S: Of course! I remember clearly that Great Tom weighs around seven tons. It was not so heavy originally, and only reached seven tons after recasting for many times. It was first recast in 1626 and 1654; then recast three times between 1678 and 1679 to increase its weight from two to over six tons; and finally recast in 1680 to Great Tom. Since then, it has been hung in Tom Tower.
S:當(dāng)然!我記得很清楚，大湯姆的重量 約為7噸。它本來(lái)并設(shè)有那么重，只 是經(jīng)過(guò)多次的重鑄以后才達(dá)到7噸的。它于1626車和1654年首度被重鑄;接 著在1678車和1679年間被重鑄了三 次，使它的重量從2噸增加到6噸多;最后一次重鑄是在1680年，這就有了 大湯姆。從此以后，大湯姆就被懸掛在湯姆塔中了。
V: Oh, where did it belong to before hung in Tom Tower?
V:哦，在被懸掛于湯姆塔中之前它被放置在哪呢?
S: It was originally called “Mary”，and belonged to Osney Abbey. In 1545，it was moved to St. Frideswide’s church, and renamed “Tom”.

V: Oh. What is the name of this architecturally splendid building?
V:哦。那這個(gè)建筑物又是什么呢?
S: It is Radcliffe Observatory, which was the astronomical observatory of Oxford University between 1773 and 1934. The 18th century building was modelled after the ancient Tower of the Winds in Athens. The observatory was founded by John Radcliffe, an English physician，so it was named after him. A number of landmark buildings in Oxford were also named after him, including the Radcliffe Camera in Radcliffe Square, the Radcliffe Infirmary, except the Radcliffe Observatory.
