问题：when did we go to the town hall？ when did the clock stop?

Question

On Wednesday evening, we went to the Town Hall. It was the last day of the year and a large crowd of people had gathered under the Town Hall clock. It would strike twelve in twenty minutes' time. Fifteen minutes passed and then, at five to twelve, the clock stopped. The big minute hand did not move. We waited and waited, but nothing happened. Suddenly someone shouted. 'It's two minutes past twelve! The clock has stopped!' I looked at my watch. It was true. The big clock refused to welcome the New Year. At that moment, everybody began to laugh and sing. 上面两个问题要答案

Answer 1

翻译如下：
星期三晚上，我们来到大会堂。这是今年的最后一天，一大群人已经在大会堂时钟前聚集。将在20分钟后敲响12点钟声。 15分钟过去了，在11点55时，时钟停止乐。大分针没有再动。我们等啊，等啊，但什么都没有发生。突然有人喊道：“已经12时02分！时钟已停止咯额！我看了看手表。这是真的。大钟拒绝迎接新年。在那一刻，大家都笑着欢快的歌唱。
