问题: "Americanizing "the children翻译为"美国化这些孩子"行吗?

During the 1800's and early 1900's ,when millions of people from many countries around the world came to the United States to settle ,schools were an important part in "Americanizing "the children ,and through them the parents,too.

解答:

Americanize:
v.tr.(及物动词)
To assimilate into American culture.
使…美国化:使…溶入美国文化
v.intr.(不及物动词)
To become American, as in spirit.
美国化:美国化,如在精神上

这里是Americanize的及物动词形式,表示使……融入美国文化,即美国化

世界各国的数百万人来到美国定居,学校在使这些孩子融入美国文化这方面起到了很大的作用
