[求譯] 一小段新聞稿

[La ()]

今天最後一小段的CNN Student News實在是越看越糊塗，查一些不懂的單字再放到句子裡
後反而越看越不懂
感覺是很口語和帶有玩笑話的一篇報導，但實在很不懂他的雙關，是否有人可以大概解釋
一下這篇文章在講什麼？謝謝！

This has been a tradition at the Iowa state fair since 1911. It`s not all butt
er. It starts with a wood and metal mesh frame and then hundreds of pounds of
dairy added until a moving sculpture about eight feet long stands in a giant c
ooler.Some might cower at the thought of having the butter up 600-pound bourbo
n bread spread. After all, there`s probably not much margarine for error or ru
minate for improvement. But as long as we`re chewing the cud, we may as well p
ut some butter on it, topping another flavorful edition of CNN STUDENT NEWS. A
nd if you don`t like those puns, we`ll just have to turn out some butter ones
later on.

謝謝，又更懂一些了。其實我知道Rush transcript的錯誤率是有的，但因為我都趁工作
偷看，開網頁比較方便一點一點地看，這樣回家看影片比較能知道大意，不然剛接觸英文
新聞好難懂..
