Who are these people rushing by you on the street'?More than 200 million now call America "home," but most of them can trace their families back to other parts of the world.If you look at the names on shop windows,you will see that Americans come from many different lands.The idea that these people, who once were strangers to the United States, have lost the customs and cultures of their original countries and have become "American" is not really true.
在街上匆忙与你擦肩而过的人是谁?现在超过两亿的人把美国称作他们的“家”，但他们中的大部分都能够将家族历史追溯到世界上的其他地方。如果你看看商店橱窗里的名字，你就会看到美国人来自于许多不同的国家。这些曾经对美国一无所知的人已经丢掉了自己国家的习俗和文化而变成了“美国人”，这种想法实际上并不正确。
