为什么把纽约叫做“大苹果”-WhyNewYorkIsCal._2000字为什么把纽约叫做“大苹果”【内容提示】根据下面的内容提示写一篇因果分析型文章：纽约城市旅客社（TheNewYorkCityVisitor＇sBureau）说，50年前首先把纽约叫成“大苹果”的是爵士乐手和其他文娱表演人员。那时，他们每天转场到一个城镇。他们把每一个城镇称做树上的一颗苹果。一个演员不能在纽约获得成功，就不能看做是成功演员。这样，他们就把纽约叫做“大苹果”了。【作文示范】WhyNewYorkIsCalledtheBigAppleTheNewYorkCityVisitor＇sBureausaysjazzmusicians①andotherentertainers②firstcalledNewYorktheBigApplefiftyyearsago.AtthattimejazzmusiciansearnedmoneybyperforminginmanycitiesandtownsacrosstheUnitedStates.Theyusuallyplayedtheirmusicinadifferenttowneachnight.ButtheperformerswouldliketoplayinNewYorkCitybestofall.NewYorkwastheplacewiththebest-paidjobs,themostmoneytoearn,andaGREaternumberofpeopleforjazzmusic.AperformerwasnotconsideredsuccessfuluntilhewassuccessfulinNewYork.TheearlyjazzmusiciansdescribedeachtownandcityinAmericaasanappleonatree.NaturallytheycalledNewYorkCitytheBigApple.LateranightclubwasnamedTheBigApple,andapopulardancewasalsocalledTheBigApple.ButnooneexceptjazzmusiciansandsomeentertainersusedthistermtodescribeNewYorkCity.Aboutfifteenyearsago,thecityofficialswantedtogetmorepeopletovisitNewYork.Theyneededanewsymbolfortheircity.TheyrememberedthestoriesofthejazzmusiciansandbeganusingtheBigAppleintheiradvertisements.Theideaworked.TodaysomanypersonsfromdifferentpartsoftheworldcomeandvisitNewYorkCityeveryday.TheymayprobablyknowNewYork＇snickname③,thoughtheymaynotknowwhythecityiscalledtheBigApple.【词语解释】①jazzmusician[dN$zmj(:)＇ziM+n]爵士音乐乐师②entertainer[?ent+＇tein+]n．表演者③nickname[＇nikneim]n．绰号【写法指要】本文是说明纽约市的绰号“大苹果”的来历的。但是，从形式上看作者回答的是“为什么”的问题。如果我们把“大苹果”看做结果的话，给纽约起这个浑名的过程就是其原因。而原因只有一种，那就是爵士乐手和其他娱乐形式的表演者对纽约的描述。所以，我们把这篇文章说成是分析一因一果的说明文。
