16、NewYorkCity,theBigApple紐約城大蘋果紐約城市旅游局曾經(jīng)說過，50年前首先把紐約叫成“大蘋果”的，是爵士樂手和其他文藝演員。那時(shí)，他們每天轉(zhuǎn)場(chǎng)到一個(gè)城鎮(zhèn)，他們把每一個(gè)城鎮(zhèn)稱作樹上的一顆蘋果。一個(gè)演員不能在紐約獲得成功，就不能看作是成功演員。又因?yàn)榧~約是美國(guó)最大的城市，這樣，他們就把紐約叫做“大蘋果”了。TheNewYorkCityXTsitor;'BureausaysthatjazzmusiciansandentertainerifirstcalledNevYorkCitytheBigApplesixtyyearsago.*-1Atthattimejazzmusic
