“THE JAZZ AGE” refers to the decade after World War I, when the nation became predominantly urban. It took its name from the rich and varied new popular music which was essentially a creation of the Negro in the city. Historians cannot agree on the origin of the word “jazz”: some say it is of African or Creole origin, and others say that it derived from the name of a musician. But there is no denying that this American form of music originated with Negroes in the first age of their migration to the city, and jazz flourished primarily because of the talent, energy, and imagination of Negroes in cities. In Europe, too, the years after World War I were an age of musical experiment. But jazz was a more democratic, more communal kind of experiment. For the old World saw developing novel forms of “art music”, of salon and concert-hall music.
正确答案：
“爵士乐时代”指的是第一次世界大战后的十年,当时城市居民已占全国人口的多数,而爵士乐则得名于主要由城市黑人创作的一种丰富多彩的新型流行音乐。历史学家对jazz(爵士)这个词的来源看法不一:有的说它源自非洲或克里奥耳语,有的说它原本是一位音乐家的名字。然而,不容否认的是,这一美国音乐形式是黑人移居城市后最初阶段的产物,爵士乐主要是靠城市黑人的天才、活力和想象力盛行起来的。在欧洲,第一次世界大战之后的年代同样也是音乐实验的时代。不过爵士乐是一种更民主、更大众化的音乐实验,而在旧世界发展起来的则是“艺术音乐”的新形式,即沙龙和音乐厅音乐。
