The report, obtained by the Sunday Telegraph, revealed that the tower was now leaning towards the north-west at an angle of 0.26 degrees, meaning the top of the tower is 1ft 5in (435mm) from vertical.
据周日电讯报获得的报告显示，大本钟目前已经朝西北方向倾斜了0.26度，这就意味着钟楼的顶部已经偏离垂直位置1英尺5英寸（435毫米）。
However at current rates, it would take 4, 000 years before the tower is as slanted as the Leaning tower of Pisa which leans by four degrees and is around 12ft off the vertical.
然而，以现行速度来计算，大本钟需要经过4000年才能达到比萨斜塔的倾斜度。比萨斜塔的倾斜度是4度，较其垂直时偏离12英尺(约3.66米)。
The tower is leaning. In the height of less than 60 meters the vertical deviation accounts for almost 2 meters.
这座高塔正在倾斜，在不到60米的高度内垂直偏差达到了2米。
