（单词翻译）

At the White House today, President Obama continued a Thanksgiving tradition. He ensured that a 45-pound gobbler named "Courage" presented to him by the National Turkey Federation1 will not be on the menu tomorrow by granting it a full, free and absolute pardon at the urging of his daughters.

"Thanks to the interventions2 of Malia and Sasha, because I was planning to eat this sucker. Courage will also be spared this terrible and delicious fate. Later today, he'll head to Disneyland where he'll be grand marshal of tomorrow's parade. You know, there's certain days that remind me of why I ran for this office. And then there are moments like this, when I pardon a turkey and send it to Disneyland."

"Courage, you are hereby pardoned, you'll live in Disneyland."

The bird is safe.
