　　第一部分：原文

　　President Trump on Tuesday will participate in the time-honored tradition of the presidential turkey pardon in a ceremony in the Rose Garden.

　　It's the 70th anniversary of the turkey presentation. President Obama was fond of telling pun-laden jokes at the event. In 2016, at his last turkey pardon, Obama said at the ceremony that he planned to keep pardoning turkeys, even without cameras present. There's "no way I'm cutting this habit cold turkey," he quipped.

　　Mr. Trump will have the opportunity to make the tradition his own this year. After the turkeys are pardoned, they'll join last year's turkeys at Virginia Tech's "Gobblers Rest" exhibit. There, students and veterinarians care for the turkeys, and the public can visit them.
