pardon a turkey

Thanksgiving is a traditional holiday in the United States,
In this festival,
Has a special tradition,
That is, the President of the United States will pardon a turkey.

Reason:
On Thanksgiving in the United States, turkey is the main dish.
This turkey is a specialty of North America, also called the seven-faced bird or the spit chicken.
In terms of body size, it is much larger than ordinary chicken, but the meat is coarser and not tasty.

The beginning of the U.S. President's Amnesty for Turkey:
Started from Lincoln’s son Tad,
When Tade was on Thanksgiving,
Asked his father, President Abraham Lincoln, not to eat the turkey given to the President.

Since then,
The tradition of amnesty turkey has been passed down,
The amnesty turkey will spend the rest of his life at Virginia Tech.

特赦火鸡

感恩节是美国的传统节日,
在此节日之中,
有着一个特别的传统,
就是美国总统会特赦一只火鸡。

原由:
美国的感恩节,大都以火鸡为主菜,
这火鸡乃是北美洲的特产,又叫七面鸟或吐绶鸡,
在体型方面,比普通的鸡还要大上很多,但肉质较粗,比较不好吃.

美国总统特赦火鸡的开始:
起始于林肯的儿子塔德,
当年的塔德在感恩节的时候,
要求父亲林肯(Abraham Lincoln)总统不要吃送给总统的那只火鸡.

自此之后,
特赦火鸡的传统便一直传承了下来,
被特赦的那只火鸡将会在弗吉尼亚理工大学度过余生。
