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

善待动物组织再次提供 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，善待动物组织都会试图说服庞克苏托尼土拨鼠俱乐部让菲尔退休，并用其他方法取代他，以预测春天是否会早春，或者未来是否还会有六周的冬天。

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，善待动物组织在给庞克瑟托尼土拨鼠俱乐部核心主席的一封充满双关语的信中建议推出一种性别揭示式的纯素蛋糕，蓝色适合冬季，粉色适合早春。善待动物组织表示，他们每年都会提供蛋糕，以换取让菲尔和他的家人在一个信誉良好的避难所退休。

"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.

善待动物组织主席英格丽德·纽柯克（Ingrid Newkirk）写道：“这可以让你在为菲尔做点正派的同时还能赚到旅游业的钱。这至少和问土拨鼠会发生什么一样准确，甚至无法反映土拨鼠的本性。” 。

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.

善待动物组织（PETA）承认，它的年度优惠开始让人感觉有点像“土拨鼠日”。过去，它曾暗示过电子土拨鼠、柿子种子，最近又暗示过一枚巨大的金币。

"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.

“如果你不喜欢这个主意，锦上添花的是我们还有另一个提议：我们很乐意寄给你一个用于 Gobbler's Knob 的大温度计，上面写着：‘如果天气仍然冷，那就仍然是冬天， ’这恰如其分地体现了这种陈旧景象的当前形式的荒谬性，我们一如既往地期待着您的来信，”善待动物组织写道。

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 土拨鼠俱乐部成立于 1880 年代。俱乐部的 Inner Circle 负责管理当天的庆祝活动，并于 2 月 2 日早上将 Phil 从 Gobblers Knob 的树桩上带出来，以便他做出预测。
