听力每日练习 listen 4266 Why is it called "the Big Apple"

 
2--Because it's a big "delicious"city. Jazz musicians of the late 1920s and early 1930s first called it that, because they earned the most money in New York when they traveled  across American and gave performances. And the name was used later in 1970s by the city officials  when  they  began  to  develop tourism. They used the Big Apple as a symbol for New York to lure visitors to enjoy its“flavor”And  many  immigrants were also attracted here to taste the opportunities this big juicy red apple offered.
 
1--I heard that the city is also called the"Capital of the World".
 
2--That's right, because the headquarter of the United Nations is here. Sometime we should take a tour of the building together. It's  really interesting to see the place where representatives of all nations meet to try to bring peace to the world.
 
1--Great! Where can I find some Chinese restaurants? You know, I haven't gotten used to American food yet.
 
2--Chinatown is your best choice. There're many Chinese people living there, so there're  lots  of  grocery  stores, too.There're many Chinese New Year celebration activities during the Spring Festival. You  can  go  there  to  feel  like you're back home and get rid of the home-sickness.
 
1--Good idea.

译文：
 
1--纽约为什么被称为“大苹果”呢?
2--因为它是个“美味”的城市。这一叫法最早源于20世纪20年代末至30年代初的一群爵士音乐家，他们在全国各地巡演，但在纽约挣的钱最多，所以叫它“大苹果”。到了70年代末，纽约市的官员为了推广本地旅游业便采纳了这一叫法，他们把“大苹果”作为纽约的标志以吸引游客来“尝尝”它的“味道”。而许多移民也纷纷来到这儿，体验这个“大红苹果”所能提供的机遇。
1--我听说纽约还被称作“世界之都”。
2--是的，因为联合国总部就设在这里。有时间的话我们可以去联合国大楼参观，世界各国的代表会聚到一起，共同商讨如何维护世界和平，所以去那儿看看是非常有意思的。
1--太好了!去哪儿才能找到中餐馆呢?你也知道，我还吃不惯美国的东西。
2--去唐人街最好不过了。有很多中国人住在那儿，所以有杂货店。春节期间有很多庆祝中国新年的活动。去了那儿就像是回了家一样，这样就不会太想家了。
1--好主意!
