今天我们要学的词是 homogenize.
homogenize 的意思是均质化，同质化。 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. 意见不一是我们民主的基点，我们应该欢迎不同观点，而不是在一个因多元化而美好的国家里同化人们的思想。
homogenize 的名词形式是 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. 尽管现代文化在美国一统天下，但有些传统文化仍然在某些社区欣欣向荣，例如路易斯安那州蒂博多的卡津生活。
