东欧犹太人不但成功融入了美国主流社会,而且较好地保留了自己的族裔特色,被誉为美国社会的“模范移民”。然而,他们在适应美国新环境的道路上并非一帆风顺,而是遭遇了来自外界与内部的双重压力。本文初步分析了他们在适应美国文化中面临的诸多困难,以展现外来民族在新大陆的奋斗历程并加深对美国多元文化的理解。 Eastern European Jews not only successfully integrated into the mainstream American society, but also better preserved their ethnic characteristics, known as the “model immigrants” in American society. However, they are not always sailing along the path of adapting to the new environment in the United States. Instead, they have faced double pressures from outside and inside. This paper analyzes the many difficulties they face in adapting to American culture, in order to demonstrate the struggles of foreign nations in the New World and deepen their understanding of American multiculturalism.
