分析 厦门是所谓的"大熔炉"，很多移民沿袭他们的文化．
解答 答案：what we call/what is called，keep up．考查表语从句和固定短语．what we call/what is called做表语从句，表示"我们称呼的"和"被称作的"；keep up表示"沿袭"．
点评 考查汉译英．
what在引导名词性从句时有两个重要的特点：一是它在相应的名词性从句中一定有含义，常表示"什么"，"所…的"，"…的样子"等．二是它在相应的名词性从句中一定做成分，而且常做主语，宾语或表语
一．引导主语从句
1）What we need is moretime．（what做need的宾语）我们所需要的是更多的时间．
2）Whatreally matters is that shewore a pair of whiteshoes．（what做matters的主语）真正麻烦的是她穿了一双白鞋．
二．引导宾语从句
1）People were perhaps more honest a long time ago when lifewasvery different from what itistoday．（what做从句中is的表语）很久以前当生活与现在的生活完全不同时，人们或许更诚实．
2）People haveheardwhat the President has said；they are waiting to see what hewilldo．（what分别做动词heard和see的宾语）人们已经听到了总统所说的；他们正等着看总统会做什么．
三．引导表语从句
1）Whether ways will be found to stop pollution or not is justwhatworries the public．（what做从句中的主语）是否能找到阻止污染的方法就是所令民众担心的事儿．
2）Thatiswhat I want to tell you．（what做从句中的宾语）那就是我想告诉你的事儿．
3）The littlegirlis no longer what she used tobe．（what做从句中的表语）这个小女孩不再是过去的样子了．
