为什么纽约被称为BIG APPLE

1/纽约州虽产苹果，但产量很少，远不及加州苹果世界驰名。有一年加州苹果欠收，外销告急，于是纽约的苹果小兵立大功，解救了加州外销苹果的窘境。纽约人引以为傲，从此称纽约为Big Apple。

2/传言经济大衰退时，许多银行家失业潦倒，必须从其市郊住家载着一袋袋苹果到到纽约大街上卖。包括一些明门望祖都被迫以此维持生计。因为纽约州常见到苹果树，对纽约经济扮演相当重要角色，进而市政府大力推行这个名词代表纽约。

3/1920～1930年，爵士乐大行其道，有个爵士乐手大唱：成功树上苹果何其多，但如果你挑中纽约市，你就挑到了最大的苹果！(There are many apples on the success tree, but when you pick New York City, you pick the Big Apple.)之后有人又证实因市区内有一极受欢迎的爵士

俱乐部就叫The Big Apple！所以称为大苹果。

4/大约在50多年前，美国(American)一群爵士乐师们经常到各地去巡回演出(rendering)赚钱(to make money)。乐师们把所有要去的城镇(town)，都描述(describe)成树上的苹果(the apple on the tree)。他们去演出赚钱，就像去摘苹果(pick apples)。纽约在当时是诸城镇中演出赚钱最多(most)的城市。各城镇都叫Apple, 自然纽约便是the Big Apple了。

也许哪天你会听人说"He lives in the Big Apple"，纳闷吗？当然啦，心里明白的人也会想，你直接说他住在纽约不就好了吗，干吗还非说“Big Apple”！没错，“Big Apple”正是NewYork 的俚语说法。

这种用法源自于美国20世纪初流行于爵士乐手中的一句唱词：“树上有这么多苹果，但当你选中了纽约市，你就选中了最大的苹果。”这样，“大苹果”的说法便在娱乐界流传开来。后来，美国报刊在宣传纽约市的时候，也每每把它描述成一个富于机会的城市，犹如一只熟透的大苹果一样伸手可及。于是，Big Apple作为纽约市的别称就这样确立下来了。

The Big Apple is a city full of opportunities.纽约是个充满机遇的城市。

The Big Apple is a nickname or moniker for New York City. It was first popularized in the 1920s by John J. Fitz Gerald, a sports writer for the New York Morning Telegraph. Its popularity since the 1970s is due to a promotional campaign by the New York Convention and Visitors Bureau, known now as NYC & Company.
