英语翻译
The degree to which we identify with an ethnic past will vary according to the strength with which family tradition has maintained that identify ,and to the degree that the family chooses to assimilate into the large society.

答案

我们在多大程度上认同一个民族的过去（一个民族的历史）,取决于两个方面：一是要看家庭传统与这种身份之间所保持的紧密程度如何,二是要看该家庭自己选择在多大程度上融入（同化）到这个大社会中.
另外请楼主确认一下：第二行中maintained that identify 是否有误,末词是identify（动词）还是identity（名词）,仅一个字母之差.
