罗夫爱德华兹 (Ralph
Edwards) 节；新墨西哥的温泉城如何更名为「实话或挑战」 (Truth
or Consequences)
地方性遗产
猜猜看一座曾经名叫温泉城的城镇是如何更名为「实话或挑战」这样一个独特的名字的？
罗夫爱德华兹(Ralph
Edwards)曾主持一个名为「实话或挑战」的电台秀。1950年时，正逢这个电台秀的十周年庆，而爱德华兹想要找个方法来纪念此一事件。所以他表示他愿意在任何一座城镇播放这个电台秀，只要这个城镇愿意将它的名字改为「实话或挑战」。某些住在新墨西哥西南方的温泉城的居民认为这是一个好主意，所以他们举行了一场特殊的投票选举，而开票结果是居民们同意更改城镇名。
1950年4月1日时，罗夫爱德华兹在新墨西哥的「实话或挑战」主持他的电台秀：实诚或是挑战，同时镇上也举行了一场盛大的庆祝活动，自此后的每一年，爱德华兹都会回到「实话或挑战」来主持这个一年一度的庆祝活动或节庆，现在这个节庆的名字已经改成他的名字了。
Can you guess how a town that used to be called Hot Springs got the unusual name of Truth or Consequences?
Ralph Edwards was the host of a radio show called "Truth or Consequences." It was the show's 10th anniversary in 1950, and he wanted to find a way to honor this event. So, Edwards offered to broadcast the show from any city that would change its name to Truth or Consequences. Some people in Hot Springs, in southwestern New Mexico, thought it was a good idea, so they held a special election and residents voted in favor of the name change.
On April 1, 1950, Ralph Edwards hosted his radio show, "Truth or Consequences" from Truth or Consequences, New Mexico. The town also held a big celebration. Every year since then, Edwards returned to Truth or Consequences to host the annual celebration, or fiesta, which is now named after him.
