But insisting on creedal rather than cultural assimilation at least gives them a chance, which they certainly need. 可是强调信条同化,而不是文化同化,至少给这些新移民一个机会,一个他们无疑亟需的机会。
Others might point to the fact that America is a creedal nation ( ie a nation based on a constitutional creed, not shared history of ethnicity). 还有人可能会说美国是一个信条国家(即一个基于宪法信条的国家,而不是有一个共同的民族历史。)
