assimilate
意味: To absorb and integrate new knowledge, ideas, or cultural practices; or to cause a person or group to become part of a larger community by adopting its customs.
Assimilate operates in both intellectual and cultural registers. In learning, it means thoroughly absorbing information — 'assimilate new concepts' or 'assimilate complex data.' In sociology and politics, it describes the process by which immigrants or minority groups adopt the language, customs, and values of the dominant culture. 'Cultural assimilation,' 'assimilate into society,' and 'pressure to assimilate' are standard collocations. The term is politically sensitive, as forced assimilation has been widely criticised.
