Edwards) 節；新墨西哥的溫泉城如何更名為「實話或挑戰」 (Truth
or Consequences)
地方性遺產
猜猜看一座曾經名叫溫泉城的城鎮是如何更名為「實話或挑戰」這樣一個獨特的名字的？
羅夫愛德華茲(Ralph
Edwards)曾主持一個名為「實話或挑戰」的電台秀。1950年時，正逢這個電台秀的十週年慶，而愛德華茲想要找個方法來紀念此一事件。所以他表示他願意在任何一座城鎮播放這個電台秀，只要這個城鎮願意將它的名字改為「實話或挑戰」。某些住在新墨西哥西南方的溫泉城的居民認為這是一個好主意，所以他們舉行了一場特殊的投票選舉，而開票結果是居民們同意更改城鎮名。
1950年4月1日時，羅夫愛德華茲在新墨西哥的「實話或挑戰」主持他的電台秀：實誠或是挑戰，同時鎮上也舉行了一場盛大的慶祝活動，自此後的每一年，愛德華茲都會回到「實話或挑戰」來主持這個一年一度的慶祝活動或節慶，現在這個節慶的名字已經改成他的名字了。
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.
