People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals is once again offering an alternative to Punxsutawney Phil.

善待動物組織再次提供 Punxsutawney Phil 的替代方案。

Every year, PETA tries to convince the Punxsutawney Groundhog Club to let Phil retire and replace him with some other way to predict whether it will be an early spring or if six more weeks of winter lie ahead.

每年，善待動物組織都會試圖說服龐克蘇托尼土撥鼠俱樂部讓菲爾退休，並用其他方法取代他，以預測春天是否會早春，或者未來是否還會有六週的冬天。

This year, in a pun-filled letter to the president of the Punxsutawney Groundhog Club's Inner Circle, PETA suggested a gender reveal-style vegan cake that would be blue for more winter and pink for an early spring. PETA said they'd provide the cake every year in exchange for letting Phil and his family retire to a reputable sanctuary.

今年，善待動物組織在給龐克薩托尼土撥鼠俱樂部核心圈主席的一封充滿雙關語的信中建議推出一種性別揭示式的純素蛋糕，藍色適合冬天，粉紅色適合早春。善待動物組織表示，他們每年都會提供蛋糕，以換取讓菲爾和他的家人在一個信譽良好的庇護所退休。

"This would allow you to still make tourism dough while showing Phil a slice of decency. It would be as least as accurate as asking a groundhog what to expect in a way that doesn't even reflect his nature," wrote PETA President Ingrid Newkirk.

善待動物組織主席英格麗德·紐柯克（Ingrid Newkirk）寫道：「這可以讓你在為菲爾做點正派的同時還能賺到旅遊業的錢。這至少和問土撥鼠會發生什麼事一樣準確，甚至無法反映土撥鼠的本性。

PETA acknowledged that its yearly offer is starting to feel a bit like "Groundhog Day." In the past, it has suggested an animatronic groundhog, persimmon seeds and, most recently, a giant gold coin.

善待動物組織（PETA）承認，它的年度優惠開始讓人感覺有點像「土撥鼠日」。過去，它曾暗示過電子土撥鼠、柿子種子，最近又暗示過一枚巨大的金幣。

"If you don't like this idea, the icing on the cake is that we have another offer: We'd be happy to send you a large thermometer for Gobbler's Knob instead that reads, 'If it's still cold, it's still winter,' which would aptly represent the absurdity of the current form of this tired old spectacle. We look forward to hearing from you, as always," wrote PETA.

「如果你不喜歡這個主意，錦上添花的是我們還有另一個提議：我們很樂意寄給你一個用於 Gobbler's Knob 的大溫度計，上面寫著：『如果天氣仍然冷，那就仍然是冬天， '這恰如其分地體現了這種陳舊景象的當前形式的荒謬性，我們一如既往地期待著您的來信，」善待動物組織寫道。

The Punxsutawney Groundhog Club was founded in the 1880s. The club's Inner Circle manages the festivities of the day, bringing Phil out of his stump at Gobblers Knob the morning of Feb. 2 so he can make his prediction.

Punxsutawney 土撥鼠俱樂部成立於 1880 年代。俱樂部的 Inner Circle 負責管理當天的慶祝活動，並於 2 月 2 日早上將 Phil 從 Gobblers Knob 的樹樁上帶出來，以便他做出預測。
