So, like Philadelphia, Boston is called "The Cradle of Liberty." Another nickname is "The Cradle of Modern America."
However, Boston's most famous nickname is "Beantown." But it was not because the city grew a lot of beans. In the 1700s, Boston was a major trading center. It received a lot of sugarcane from the West Indies. Beans baked in molasses -- a sugar product -- became a favorite food in the city. Today, no companies there make Boston baked beans. Restaurants in Boston rarely serve it. But many Americans eat this tasty dish at home.在美国独立战争之前和期间，在波士顿发生了几个重要事件。你也许听说过波士顿惨案（the Boston Massacre）、波士顿茶党事件（the Boston Tea Party）和邦克山战役（the Battle of Bunker Hill）。
波士顿与费城一样，被誉为“自由的摇篮”和“现代美国的摇篮”。
然而，波士顿最知名的称号是“豆子城”（Beantown），但并非因为它大量种植豆子。在18世纪，波士顿曾是重要的贸易中心，接收大量西印度群岛的甘蔗。糖浆（一种糖类产品）烤豆成为波士顿人最爱的美食。如今，当地没有公司生产波士顿烤豆了，饭店也很少有这道菜，但仍有许多美国人在家吃这种美食。
