谁知道这个词语代表什么?
Big Apple可不是“大苹果”,而是一座大城市,即美国的纽约市.
不过,Big Apple仅仅是纽约的别名,那么,Big Apple与New York怎么会联系在一起呢?
据说,50多年前,美国的一群爵士乐乐师常到各地巡回演出赚钱.乐师们把所要去的城镇都描绘成树上的apple.New York是他们演出赚钱最多的城市.既然其他城镇叫做apple,New York自然便是Big Apple了.
十几年前,纽约市的官员们为了招揽游客,便把“the Big Apple”正式作为该市的象征.从此,越来越多的游客被吸引到New York去进行参观访问.于是,“the Big Apple”作为New York的别名便传遍了全球.
