A nickname is a shortened form of a person's name. A nickname also can be a descriptive name for a person, place or thing. Many American cities have nicknames. These can help establish an identity, spread pride among citizens and build unity.
别名是一个人名字的缩写形式。也可以是一个人、地方或物品的描述性名称。许多美国城市都有别名,这样可以帮助创建一个城市的风格,在市民间传播自豪感,建立团结。

You might wonder how New York got this nickname. In the early nineteen seventies, the city had many problems. The number of visitors was falling. So a campaign was launched to give the city a new image. The head of the New York Conventions and Visitors Bureau decided to call the city, The Big Apple.
你可能会想纽约为何得到这么别名。在20世纪70年代早期纽约存在诸多问题,游客人数持续下降。所以纽约发起了一场展现城市新形象的运动。纽约会议与游客管理局负责人决定把纽约称之为大苹果。
