今天我們要學的詞是 homogenize.

homogenize 的意思是均質(zhì)化，同質(zhì)化。 Disagreement is a foundational point of our democracy. We should welcome opposing viewpoints, and we should not homogenize the thoughts of a nation whose beauty lies in its diversity. 意見不一是我們民主的基點，我們應(yīng)該歡迎不同觀點，而不是在一個因多元化而美好的國家里同化人們的思想。

homogenize 的名詞形式是 homogenization：For all of the homogenization of modern culture in the U.S., pockets of traditional cultures still thrive, such as Cajun life in Thibodaux, Louisiana. 盡管現(xiàn)代文化在美國一統(tǒng)天下，但有些傳統(tǒng)文化仍然在某些社區(qū)欣欣向榮，例如路易斯安那州蒂博多的卡津生活。
