Cooking Instructions | 烹饪说明

English Original

According to the Knight-Ridder News Service, the inscription on the metal bands used by the U.S. Department of the Interior to tag migratory birds has been changed.

The bands used to bear the address of the Washington Biological Survey, abbreviated: "Wash. Biol. Surv."

This changed after the agency received a letter from an Arkansas camper:

"Dear Sirs: While camping last week I shot one of your birds. I think it was a crow. I followed the cooking instructions on the leg tag and I want to tell you, it was horrible."

The bands are now marked "Fish and Wildlife Service."


中文翻译

根据《骑士-里德报业》的报道,美国内政部用于标记候鸟的金属脚环上的铭文已被更改。

这些脚环过去印有华盛顿生物调查局的地址,缩写为:“Wash. Biol. Surv.”。

这一改变源于该机构收到的一封来自阿肯色州露营者的信:

“尊敬的先生们:上周露营时,我射中了你们的一只鸟。我想那是只乌鸦。我遵循了脚环上的‘烹饪说明’,但我想告诉你们,味道糟透了。”

现在,脚环上的标记已改为“鱼类及野生动物管理局”。
