People of Burlington are being disturbed by the sound of bells.Four students from Burlington College of High Education are in the bell tower of the church and have made up their minds to ring the bells nonstop for two weeks as a protest(抗议)against heavy trucks which run day and night through the narrow High Street.
"They not only make it difficult to sleep at night,but they are doing damage to our houses and shops of historical interest "said John Norris,one of the protesters.
"If we must have these noisy trucks on the roads,"said Jean Lacey,a biology student,"why don't they build a new road that goes round the town?Burlington isn't much more than a large village.Its streets were never meant for heavy traffic."
Harry Fields also studying biology said they wanted to make as much noise as possible to force the government officials to realize what everybody was having to stand." "More of them don't live here anyway," he said,"They come in for meetings and that,and the Town Hall is soundproof(隔音),so they probably don't notice the noise all that much .It's high time they realised the problem."
The fourth student,Liza Vernum,said she thought the public were mostly on their side,and even if they weren't they soon would be.
I asked if they were afraid that the police might come to stop them.
"Not really,"she said,"Actually we are proper bell-ringers.I mean we are assistant bell-ringers for the church.There is no law against practising."
I left the church with the sound of the bells ringing in my ears.

伯灵顿的人们都被钟声所打扰.伯灵顿高等教育学院的四个学生在教堂的钟楼上不停地敲钟,并决定不停地敲钟2个星期,作为重型卡车昼夜不停地穿梭在狭窄街巷的一种抗议.
John Norris,一名抗议者,表示:“这些重型卡车不但影响了我们晚上的睡眠,而且威胁着具有历史意义的房屋和店铺建筑.”
一名生物专业学生Jean Lacey说:“如果这些扰人的卡车非要在伯灵顿通行的话,为什么不新建造一条环城路专门通行此类车辆.伯灵顿是个小城镇,它的街道从来都不适合这类重型车辆通行.”
Harry Fields,另一名生物学专业的学生,也表示:“他们想制造尽量多的噪音,以此来强迫政府官员来体验他们正在承受的痛苦.他们中的大多数都不住在这里,只是偶尔来开会.并且市政厅是隔音的,所以他们不会意识到我们在忍受的噪音.是时候让他们意识到这个问题了.”
Liza Vernum,四个学生中的一个,说大多数公众都站在他们这一方,并且即使现在他们没有,也很快会支持他们.
我问他们,是否害怕警察回来阻止他们, 他回答说:“我们不会害怕,事实上,这是合理的声音-是钟声.我是说我们其实在帮助教堂敲钟的人们鸣钟而已.并没有相关的法律禁止此项活动.”
我伴随着教堂的钟声离开了教堂.
