原文
The melting pot has been around for quite a while as a way to describe a certain American ideal. More recently, this ideal has been called into question. A cultural-sensitivity scholar sums up a new attitude thus: “Today the trend is toward multiculturalism, not assimilation. The old ‘melting pot’ metaphor is giving way to new metaphors such as ‘salad bowl’ and ‘mosaic’, mixtures of various ingredients that keep their individual characteristics. Immigrant populations within the United States are not being blended together in one ‘pot’, but rather they are transforming American society into a truly multicultural mosaic.”
Soupmaking may be a good source of metaphors for different approaches to assimilation or multiculturalism. Some soups are homogenized through a blender. In other soups, the constituent elements remain distinct. But a melting pot is not a soup kettle. However, a melting pot is not a soup kettle. One of the definitions I found for “melting pot” reads: “a vessel made of material that does not melt easily; used for high temperature chemical reactions.” Here the “not melting” aspect seems as important as the “melting”. There’s a metaphor there for a vessel that can take the heat.
This may give us a way to think about the difference between the essential framework and the ever-changing content held within that framework, e.g. the new peoples and new cultures that come to a country. And that metaphor may be a way to think about assimilation and multiculturalism. If we pay attention to literal meaning, even a metaphor long since morphed into cliché may still have lessons for us.
譯文
“大熔爐”在相當(dāng)長(zhǎng)的一段時(shí)間里一直作為對(duì)某個(gè)美國(guó)式理想的一種描述。近來(lái)，這個(gè)理念卻受到了質(zhì)疑。一位研究文化敏感的學(xué)者如是概括一種新的態(tài)度：“當(dāng)今的趨勢(shì)是多元文化，而不是同化。舊的‘大熔爐’的隱喻正在讓位給新的隱喻比如‘色拉碗’、‘馬賽克’等，許多不同的原料混合在一起，但保持各自的特性。今天在美國(guó)，來(lái)自各地的移民不是被‘熔于一爐’，而可以說(shuō)他們正在把美國(guó)社會(huì)變成一幅真正多元文化的馬賽克圖案�！�
在同化和多元文化的眾多隱喻中，煲湯也許是這些概念的重要來(lái)源。有些湯是用攪拌機(jī)把原料攪合成一體的。有些湯則是各自配料在煮好后仍保持原樣。但是，熔爐不是湯鍋。我找到“熔爐”一詞有這樣一個(gè)釋義：“用不易熔化的材料制成的一個(gè)器皿，用于高溫的化學(xué)反應(yīng)�！边@里的“不熔化”似乎跟“熔化”一樣重要。由此產(chǎn)生了熔爐這個(gè)耐高溫器皿的比喻。
這也許給了我們一個(gè)新思路，去考慮基本框架與這個(gè)框架內(nèi)不斷變化的內(nèi)容（例如來(lái)到某一國(guó)家的新移民和新文化）之間的差異。而這個(gè)比喻也許是我們考慮同化和多元文化的一個(gè)新思路。假如我們多關(guān)注詞的字面意義，那么即使一個(gè)早已變?yōu)殛愒~濫調(diào)的隱喻還是會(huì)給我們不少教益。
