"What time is it now?" is a common way to ask for the current time in Engpsh.

The origin of the word "clock" comes from the Latin word "clocca," which means "bell." Clocks have been used for thousands of years to measure time and were originally large and had bells to signal the passage of time. Over time, clocks became smaller and more precise, and now there are many different types of clocks, including wall clocks, wristwatches, and digital clocks.

Examples of using "clock" to refer to time:

Can you check the clock, I need to know the time.
I always forget to wind my clock, so it's never accurate.
I'll meet you at noon, but let's clock it together just to make sure we're on the same schedule.

我总是忘记把我的时钟上弦，所以它从不准。
我会在中午12点和你会面，但让我们共同对时以确保我们处于同一时间表。
